[WWI] about weathering

[wed317]

 " Who says it needs to be "weathered"? "
 
No one, but what if the a/c you want to model is shown in photos as one of
the really beat up crates? Re: the IRAS and machines used by the red and
white forces in the RCW. Some of them are in absolutely terrible shape.
Granted, they are the exception, BUT there they are, documented and all. 
  
As you pointed out Jim, and as others have pointed out over the years on the
List, these a/c were the cutting edge technology of the time. They were
babied and pampered for the most part. However, some machines do show up
from time to time in period images that were in less than stellar shape.

Who hates it when he sees someone weather an OT a/c as if it were a panzer
that had seen hard action on the Eastern Front or North Africa.
