    Nice weathering on all three Rick but I'm particularly drawn to the "Butcher Bird". Great models all, well done!
Cheers,
Lance

All excellent examples of how to do weathering and keep it restrained yet effective.

Totally agree with Allan. Beautiful examples of weathering that is not over the top. I really like all of these, the B26 is probably my fave tho..... Loving the panel fade on that one.

I always enjoy a sharp 190, and have a big soft spot for the Marauder...the P-47 has never been a particular favourite of mine but yours is a terrific build. I like it a lot!

Three outstanding builds in the One True Scale Rick. The weathering is something to die for.

Thanks Dave. Greatly appreciated! As for WW1 projects I often look at the CSM Nieuport 11 I started quite a while ago. I don't know if I am up to it yet though. I also recently picked up a Fokker EII " Max Immelman" but like every other time I have purchased a WNW E, I am really put off by the rigging and will probably trade or sell the kit for something I find less intimidating!

Don't be put off, the rigging on the Eindeckers is a bit time consuming but not that difficult (IMO). Everything is easy to reach, the only major thing to watch out for is the pylon attachment - just make sure you have that strongly glued in place and drilled out so you can get the rigging lines through.
