Then I continued with the weathering, creating worn off colour and scratches, using both olive drab and gun metal, and the a bit of rust pigment. I feel it’s hard to get a sense of when to stop, and maybe I’ve gone over the top with this, but I’ll consider it done.

I need to add the tow cable, and maybe sort a few things I’ve noticed in the pics, then I’ll take better pics against white background. Feels good to be done!

I need to do the remaining decals and seal them before I continue with final assembly and weathering.

Hopefully the gears for the P-47 will hold, as it only need prop and final weathering to be done.
