Finally back to the bench. I'm going to try to go slow on this build.
I'm trying an oil paint wash for streaking.

I hope you have a tractor or at least a zero turn mower. That's about a 2 — 3 day mowing job.

Or scissors if you like a challenge....... Pantherman

Some day, when I grow up, I want to be as good at weathering things as you are, Gary....lol

Nice weathering, looks like it has seen a lot of flight hours.

I'm happy enough to be finished. I'll spray a satin finish over the decals tomorrow.

Loving the finished build, great weathering. I have still got to finish the canopies but I'm not too far behind. Pantherman
