Trully amazing and very professional job indeed.I enjoyed every step of the construction.Well done pall.
I agree that some fading work must be done on the linen surfaces.
An easy and very reallistic effect would be some small touches with oils and fade them panel to panel by stroking them with a flat brush.Or even pastels,but with the fever of loosing them as time goes by,or leaving some fingerprints.You can seal them by blending them using some turpentine.A nice dusty effect.Dont forget also the engine grime and oils running towards the spine and the faded tail rudders from the fumes.Some chipping on the fuselage would be a nice touch too.
Please don't accept my piece of advice if you desire,this is only my personal taste,the model is yours,of course.
Well done again.
