Very nice Phil. The F 156C is probably out of period though.

Thanks for posting this- I'm starting a BF-110 after the new year, inspiration is always a good thing!
And I love your little 'sand box' wish I had the room for one myself!

Greetings Dud;
..,
Phil, really nice looking bird, I remember you telling me a while back you didn't want to weather your stuff because you were afraid it would mess up your finish. Boy I'm glad you got past that, you can really see a progression in your skills dude! 
Thanks everyone for the kind comments!
MP you know me!! I'm still not a ''heavy weatherer!'' I do try to stain and chip in places where I personally think the most of this would occur, since my method of using Tamiya primer then Tamiya bare metal silver as a base on all my aircraft I found that with the inevitable handling during the rest of construction takes of certain amounts of paint rubs off and shows the BMS which to me looks like natural paint wear and seems to work out good.
In any case as long as my builds are enjoyed I'm very happy!

Phil I know what you're talking about, had the same situation with the spinner on the Mustang where my handling caused it to chip away quite naturally, maybe it was some masking.
But the problem with that is we don't have total control over the process. Where we may be handling a subject may not be where it would be weathered naturally. But for both of us it's seems to be working ok for now. I'm about ready to bump it up a notch or two if I can.
