Cheers Ad`, you nearly had me there 😀

It was my fervent hope you'd get the joke.  I know everyone gets to build and paint how they want.  But I really get puzzled when I see an exceptionally well built and detailed model finished in a patchwork quilt scheme.  Now, having said that, I am sure folks can produce a photo of a real F-100F that looks like a patchwork paint job, but I've never seen the point.  It almost feels as though they enjoyed the effect and just kept going. 

 

But again, I get it and folks can weather or not weather how ever they want.  They do not need my approval for sure.  But I do like to applaud the efforts of someone who weathers realistically.  It's kinda rare.

Great job russ, I really like the camo painting and weathering, I'm gathering the bits at the moment for an academy phantom from Lakenheath,  so seeing this has  re- piqued my interest,  again well  finished

The best compliment I can give is that I thought it was photos of the real thing! Superb.

Ditto - I opened the thread and genuinely thought the first photo was of the real aircraft. I guess That’s about as good as it gets really. 👍
