The weathering on this bird was just right. Too many times I see aircraft like this extremely weathered and that just isn't the case for the newly commissioned birds. I mean a little yeah but certainly not paint chipped to pieces like I've seen on others. Love the carrier deck. 

 

Thanks Joe

Most impressive Joe! Thanks for sharing. I built the same kit in early 2019 in James Pug Southerland's livery. It is a lovely kit. You did a great job on the weathering and decaling.

Thanks. Indeed it's a great kit. Pug is on my short list too.
