If you want to work with PE build a ship. There's more PE on one of those than are parts on an entire plane. That's why I don't do ships anymore. The PE can get so small you need an Optivisor in order to see it let alone trying to bend.it. I have great respect for those who have mastered ship PE.

Patrick thanks,I cant take credit for the original idea with the putty and tape borrowed it from a master builder on another site . Hope you find it helpful on future builds,btw the Tomcat came out really sharp!
Terry,Polux,Dave & Ian thank you for the positive comments.
Well Ray not quite sure how to respond ,geuss I'll have to build a ship with a lot of pe someday to rate some respect.
I added the pe to the gear legs then stepped out in the shop for an a/b session finally adding the white to the bays and gear bits. With this hurdle out of the way I can hopefully start spraying some base color down tonight after it cools off.

Just caught this one great work, I take my hat off to anyone using pe got a 1/400titanic with pe and it is just too small and fiddly for me, I will never use it again, my eyes just can't do it. So well done.

Polux thanks, it does seem big for 1/48. The real one is a fairly good size bird for a Fighter. Kpnuts ,Joe,Patrick,Monica thank you !
I wanted to get a random weathered appearance so I broke out the salt and a spray bottle of water
After a good misting I ground up the salt and applied it randomly over the top surfaces
I let the salt completely dry
I then added a little flat white to the original base color and thinned it 75% and gave the upper surfaces a light spray. After that dried I brushed off the salt then with a soft brush gave it a good bath to flush the rest of the salt off completely. The longer you leave the salt on the more dramatic the effect will be. Since I just wanted a subtle effect I removed it quickly after the paint dried.
This is the end result
