Robert,
Very impressive. The weathering really makes a huge difference even though you've only started working on it.

Hi again Robert

Really nice! The restrained paint chipping works a treat. I'd add a little bit of wear and tear to the cockpit sills too as this aircraft has obviously seen a fair amount of use.

All the best

Rowan

This is coming out very nice!
Streaks and chipping are decent but obvious and well done. I think Rowan's suggestion sounds not bad for the overall aspect.
Maybe also a little work on the exhaust-pipes?
Keep on - cheers
