Thanks Matt. I just gave it a wash of pale cream. It was Humbrol 121 which is 'Matt Pale stone'. Then washed most of it off with a flat brush and white spirit. it later got another wash of Precision 'Dirty Black , again with most of it removed, but it remained in the detail areas and the paleness of the red still came through the darker wash. The sooty stains were done with weathering powders.
