If it's die cast it would probably be an aluminium alloy, and won't rust

if it is a steel one then i would leave in salty water for a bit, shat would do the job

Paint it & whilst the paint is wet drop some iron filings on it,then put it outside

[atomic punk]

Mix up some rust coloured paint using humbrol enamel, mix some talc or fine sand in with it, then dab it on with an old paintbrush

Cant you buy rust from model shops? I'm sure i've seen it somewhere.

put some vinegar in a jam jar with a METAL LID then pop in some wire wool and leave it a couple of weeks. = a pot full of rust
