DH (Fred) & jsfBoat:

Excellent craftsmanship! This is probably a hobby that I'm sure will develop for me over time.

I think this is the same aircraft that was involved in a certain incident .
I don't think those aircraft were ever washed except by nature.

"One thing that I still need to work on is my "washes" and "weathering" for that ultrarealistic look."

This is very tricky, especially when detailing a navy jet in TPS like an F-14 or
FA-18. This is my first attempt at washing. Not very good but getting better.
