Thanks for the encouragement and tips, Konrad.   .  .  .

By "chipping fluid" do you mean a liquid mask?

Jim - chipping fluid is more like a distemper that actually lets you chip the paint.  Works well on plastic, I have even been successful with it on wood.  It's an armor modeling product, but works on any kind of model.  Take a look at this link, I use this product, but there are other brands.

The effect is kind of like the old rubber cement technique, but more controllable.  It can even be done in layers to show  different paint schemes weathering - paint, put on chipping fluid, paint an overcoat, chip, and repeat.  

This would be ideal for the raggedy edges you see in the picture.
