Corrosion and Weathering Progress

Didn't get around to the bench until later this evening, but did want to make a push to get corrosion touch ups, and  some wear and tear added to the paint job.  Not sure if I'm 100% happy with the end result as of now, so I'll probably take a look at it tomorrow with a fresh set of eyes and see what needs to be tweaked to get it just right.  Did a bit of experimenting on the horizontal stabs to try and simulate foot traffic from maintainers as it appears on the real deal.  Probably some bit of refinement with it, but for the most part I was really happy with the results.  Hoping tomorrow to be able to get all the paint sealed in, and ready for decals either tomorrow night, or Saturday by mid day.  Hoping to have the plane done by Tuesday or Wednesday and move onto phase two of this project which will be the flight deck display that we'll be mounting this bad boy onto.
