When looking at some picture in FSM. These guys who detail their airplanes to gills leave me confused.
I see that they like to have the exhaust blow back, and the deteriation of paint because of natural weathering. Thats fine.
But with the detailing of each panel, screw and rivet. Is that them just trying to show the detail of the panel, or they think that the weather causes the panel lines to stick out?
I know some do the weathering to make them realistic. But in my own opinion, I see the individual panel, rivet, and screw detail, making it look more like a model than a real airplane.
I personally leave them "clean" as if they just rolled out of the paint shop, or production line.
I'm not trying to cut these guys down, or yourself if you do this method. We build these models to meet our own likings, and imaginations.
I'm just curious if they're doing this for the panel detailing or weathering effect?
