As our
aeroplane fought in North Africa, it had a lot of desert yellow camoulage
patches (XF-59).
If we want
our plane to appear older (dirty through use or through wear and tear)
we will give it this look now, before we go on to varnish it. This
all depends on what you would like to do, I particularly don't like
old looking planes, although I do like tanks given an old feel to
them. In another course I will explain to you the techniques for ageing
material.
