Hi, Paul, thanks! Weathering is one of my more favorite parts of finishing a model, too! I'm thinking of using a modifed dot-filter technique, after I get the deckles on and a matte coat down.
"Little Chief" will get more fading and shading, though, that a lot of scuffing. From the pictures I have, it looks like her crew chief paid special attention to her. There's even a bit of a semi-gloss, like she was waxed at some point.
An update coming up next...
