Olive Drab Weathering

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Hope everyone is alright after the holidays.

Well, today I've found great colour photos of WW2 USAF nose art. What is more interesting to me are the documented pcitures of weathered Olive Drab. You know that I like weathering, that's why these pictures are of particular interest to me. Enjoy!

(I guess I can do that sort of "weathering" with my trusted Aztec. note that canopy glass is also not that clear - no need for Future Floor Wax ;)

As you can see from the photos above that there're quite noticable Olive Drab colour modulation. And don't blame on the film quality ;)

What I've found interesting and inspiring lately - couple of 1/72 scale builds by slavatradu. I really admire his works and he's truly talented modeling artist. Check out for yourself:
