Undoubtedly the generally short life of a WWI aeroplane meant it had little time to deteriorate. But, if you study photographs of one of the best known "long-servers" B6313 - the Camel used by Will Barker - you will see that even at the end of its service life this aircraft looked "clean". B6313 was used on active service from September 1917 to September 1918 and accounted for 33 EA and 9 balloons (at least). It was crashed and rebuilt and modified heavily during this period . Doubtless much recovering was responsible for the clean look of the plane but, for whatever individual reasons, a 'plane used heavily for 12 months could still look in pristine condition.

The look of the subject is tied with the enviroment that surround it. If you place your plane in a base or diorama representing an airfield with green spring lawn, the plane would look very clean. But if you do a muddy, tracked airfield, you can't avoid mud caking in the undercarriage and lower surfaces and discreet stains in the stirrups and cockpit. Of course, this grim would not cover the entire aircraft at least if it is crashed. Depending on the particular aircraft you're modelling, you can represent some signs of usage with bullethole patches or missing wheel covers.

I pretty much agre with everyone else on this. However, if you enjoy weathering an airplane. look at pictures of the early Moranes. The noses were painted in black or red, depending on when used and which service, and there are a lot of good pictures oin the datafile showing how severely the paint flaked off, due I think to the castor oil used.

I've seen a couple on ebay for around $20 - look like the same ones that have been around for a while (good quality, tho' the highlights in the ribbon are too sparkly). The only REAL one I ever saw was at the Champlin Fighter Museum in Chandler, AZ (which, BTW, is really worth a visit for anyone interested in ANY aspect of fighter aviation), and it's ribbon was relatively dull.

This not only removed the offending oil stains but also the dope coating the fabric, hastening it's deterioration. There are many photos showing blotched PC 10 coats and fading roundels as well as chipped paint on cowls and panels. My current project was inspired by a very sad looking JN4 seen on page 139 of Royal Navy Aircraft Serials and Units 1911-1919. Training aircraft were subjected to as much, if not more, abuse as front line aircraft. #8821 survived from 05 '16 to 04 '18 and was repaired five times including wing replacement. The fuselage clearly shows evidence of CDL peeking through a thin blotchy coat of PC10. I have duplicated this by painting the fuselage (Lindberg kit) flat CDL, then semi-gloss PC10 and then thinning and removing portions of the latter with a varsol soaked kleenex. The effect is fairly satisfying. The wings on the other hand I have painted glossy PC10 to represent recently replaced ones. This provides what I think is an interesting contrast, especially between the gloss black of the cowl and the dingey, shabby appearance of the flat and semi-gloss fuselage. One day I hope to actually finish it!
