To start a thread: what do people here consider realistic weathering
for WW1? I would have to agree with Doug. Armor modelers (myself
included) really like things dirty, grungy and the like, whereas most
A/C modelers are too pristine. However, I really haven't seen any
discussion on what it considered adequate or realistic weathering on
WW1 A/C. The limit I go to is to dirty the underside just a bit (mud
and dirt flying causes some "weathering"), but that's about it.
Others?
