Wow - I am impressed! :prayer: "I'm not worthy!" Question on the weathering - I assume the silver/white on the upper surfaces behind the fuel fill caps is to mimic the result of overflow fuel?

Mimics, scuffing from pilots and ground crew climbing onto and off the wing. Great job by the way!.

And the Haze Blue paint was notorious for being difficult to apply, weathering badly and general lack of durability
