I've spent the weekend working on the weathering and detailing and I have to say, I have found it to be a frustrating process. For some reason, the panel line accent colour kept bleeding out from the lines on the model to the point where it was looking blotchy and kept having to rub them back with some turpentine on a q-tip. Achieving the water run off was also testing because I didn't have a real steady hand and I think the q-tip was too thick so that, too, became trial and error. I eventually swapped over to a paint brush gently used some soot to achieve a better-ish look. I used a Tamiya Smoke to achieve the tint in the cockpit window. Again, it wasn't perfect. I was perhaps too heavy handed with the layerin and some of the paint gathered at the bottom of the window but you don't notice it when the window is installed in place. I'm going to slow down a bit with these final steps and stop work if I find myself getting frustrated with it.
