Nice work and really good weathering!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Nice work I like the rust effect.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Missed these when you'd done them 3month back ...

Cheers Chris, I chose to weather the trucks using Humbrol Enamel Wash AV210 Rust followed by Humbrol Powders AV0001 Black, AV0006 Iron Oxide, AV0007 Dark Earth and AV0008 Rust applied using various techniques; washes, streaking, stippling and sprinkling
