The one I'm doing stood outside in all weathers for decades as a Gate Guardian' or rather Hospital Guardian in this particular case, so it became very faded and worn indeed. So much so that in it's late 'Guardianage' it was repainted with a camo scheme so it would look better. It's now in Malta restored back to it's original clean High Speed Silver. But I want to do it as I remembered it as a child, a 'faded silver wonder'lancfan wrote:These aircraft would have been clean and tidy, they would not have looked worn. A better method would be after you have coated it in your silver of choice and applied your decals just give it a coat or two of matt varnish to kill the shine dead.

I was trying a more hands-off approach this time - I can be a bit over-controlling if I'm not careful.....
