Paul, Pete, Marco-----thanks, guys. Started on the underside weathering and these USMC low-viz Rhinos got very grimy underneath. I applied various washes to the vents and recesses. I then added lots of fluid leaks and stains using oils blended with a wide brush. Almost done underneath and then I will do some work topside.

I got the decals applied to the F-4S and I must say they laid down well. They actually only had to stay in the water for 2-3 seconds and were ready to come off the paper. I also did some weathering work topside using oils and some Winsor Newton acrylics. Almost ready to put this one back together.

Thanks, Duke, and sure you can! Just some oils, pens, pencils and a tuned up airbrush and get to it.

Yeah, except for the pencils and pens, I have all that. It's the skills I ain't got!
