You ruined it with over-weathering!

Whose poop list are the pilots on? That's got to be the worst looking aircraft on the flight line
 
That makes sense, considering also the worst financial state of the entire EU. At least a few years ago.
 
I think it looks great! If I was to model planes (which I don't) they would probably look something like that:)
That's why I model mud grubbers......almost impossible to over weather;)

Since I do not want to only focus on aircraft, something for the armor guys.

I hear many of the same comments from armor folks as I do from the plane crowd. You chipped too much paint, rust took years of neglect to appear, no crew chief would ever...

Yeah.

How much panzer gray do you see on these recently captured 10.5cm artillery pieces?

I see a lot of grease, which is commonly used on artillery pieces to keep them protected and working.
Lots of sliding bits spreading that grease around and flinging it everywhere.
Thats not weathering, that well maintained and functional!

Oh, and some camouflage paint.

Speaking of real world over weathering, I am planning to add a model of this Mustang to my store catalog.
Referred to as "the most bedraggled Mustang in the squadron".
I think this represents a more realistic "well weathered" look.
Hun Flusher was a recon P-51B Mustang of the 10th Photographic Reconnaissance Group.
Supposedly perfectly well maintained and in perfect mechanical shape. Just a bit rough to look at!
Recon aircraft were true workhorses.

Shiny and clean is for parades. Mud, grime, grease, corrosion, and worn paint are the real world.
