Mr Bowcat SMF Supporter Joined Dec 29, 2016 Messages 3,645 Points 113 Location London First Name Bob Jun 21, 2018 #142 Cheers Tim. The streaking looks quite prominent in the pics, but more subtle in the flesh. I've got to do the underside next then go at it with some other oils for staining and fading.

The idea was to create wear and discolouration, but I can't decide if I've overdone it. I'll leave it overnight and look again in daylight. Being oils I can still knock it back if I decide it's too strong.

Mr Bowcat SMF Supporter Joined Dec 29, 2016 Messages 3,645 Points 113 Location London First Name Bob Jun 22, 2018 #149 Cheers Pete, but I've almost immediately decided it was too strong so I've knocked it back a little. To my eyes it looks better now.

Mr Bowcat SMF Supporter Joined Dec 29, 2016 Messages 3,645 Points 113 Location London First Name Bob Jun 24, 2018 #151 I think I'm done weathering. I finished off with some streaking grime (three different colours) and some Tamiya smoke. I also weathered the external fuel pods and jet cans. I think I'm happy with the result, a lot of the pictures I've seen of Strike Eagles show them quite worn and streaky.
