Second coat. If I were going to render the plane as brand new, I'd probably apply a third coat, but I want to weather the plane heavily, so the streaking works for me.

I decided to lighten a few panels with the Sea Blue mixed with a bit of Flat Gray.

Thanks! I've been airbrushing models for many years now but for this project I decided to go back to my roots and use only paintbrushes, spray cans and cheap paint. I limited myself to those products which I could buy at my local floral and craft store. I wanted to see if I could create a decent model using ordinary, inexpensive materials.

like it, weathering is effective, what did you use or a better question, how did you use it ? 😄

Choppa Nutta - Thanks. I used Testors enamels for both paint and weathering. The weathering washes were thinned way down, brushed on with a flat brush and then wiped off with cotton buds dipped in thinner.
