i played around with a fair bit of weathering on this model.....i faded the base colours(both top and bottom ) but left the rocket rails and panier's unfaded as per a pic i found online

Excellent work Paul.

Glad to see you are venturing into adding "weathering". You can go even harder around the engines too if you like, as per that photo. You can't be wrong with weathering/filtering, as it's all relative. No weathering - factory fresh, heavy weathering - hard use in hard conditions. I guess I like mid to heavy weathering - using photo references as my guide.

This looks a great kit. The instrument panel looks brilliant. Top marks ol' boy!

Cheers

Adam
