Quite right. Personally I like the job he did on the kit, though I do think he went a bit overboard on the weathering and it's certainly not appropriate for Nungessor's aircraft as you say. I'm sure he would have kicked some poor groundcrew's butt quite severely for letting his machine's appearance deteriorate to that extent!
