 Unwanted lettering removed from side 1 |
 Drip lip and ACI label plate built |
 Ribs holes filled on Side 1 |
 Rib holes filled on side 2 but I haven't removed the lettering yet...... |

 Dont do like me and fade before adding all the decals back onto the model |
 Added parts painted |
 Weathering started, with some wheel splatter |
 First stages of my weathering process |
 I try to work from left to right across my models |
 A look at the bottom bay |
 First stage weathering applied all the way across the model |
 As you can see from the last pic and this one I also added all the lettering and decals at this point |
 Painfullly obvious here that I do one side at a time, then the ends last |
 Side one is prettu much complete, I did do some tweaking here and there on the weathering |
 Different view of side 1 |
