      Like you say It's in the eye of the beholder, a nice sunny summer afternoon, then its over the top, a wet winters day landing on a muddy grass strip then maybe not enough. You see were I'm going? You've done a great job for the first time. it will come with experience. I'm still learning the fine art of weathering.

        Looks good to me Garry! That Merlin must have more oil leaks than my Triumph!

              I understand Ian, and thanks for your encouragement.

                Thank you Pete, I saw a picture on the web of the underside of a Spitfire from WW2, and it was covered in oil, so I tried to replicate it.
