Here is my completed Spitfire, and my first attempt at full weathering of a model.
I'm not totally unhappy with the result, and have learned a lot in the process.
I didn't do a build thread, just in case I cocked it up completely :smiling3:
C&C welcome.
Cheers
Garry

Nice job Gary. I do like a weathered bird, but as you know, it's something that takes quite a bit of practice. Sometimes I think I've got it right, other times I know I haven't !

Very nice work Gary, you seem to be getting the hang of weathering, so easy to go over the top with it. A little is often enough
Thank you so much Ian, as this is my first attempt at full weathering I have no idea what just enough, or too much, really is. Or is it just in the eye of the beholder?
Honestly does this look a little OTT to you?
Cheers

Like you say It's in the eye of the beholder, a nice sunny summer afternoon, then its over the top, a wet winters day landing on a muddy grass strip then maybe not enough. You see were I'm going? You've done a great job for the first time. it will come with experience. I'm still learning the fine art of weathering.
