I am working on model of the extreme run down GP10 of the Maumee & Western. This is what I got so far

The prototype looks this way

I see two kind of weathering in parallel
a. The black paint is faded and somehow simply gone at some spots. Those spots are irregular and form a very special pattern over the body. I saw similar pattern on the roof of very old automobiles when the paint was almost gone.
b. Brown rust becomes visible at spots where the black paint is gone.
Do you have a suggestion how to get close to the prototype?
