I like the weathering, as well as the rest of the work, but just out of curiosity, how weathered would these gliders actually be?

That's a fair point; however, there are many photographs and articles on t'web concerning the training of both pilots and troops on the Horsa and other gliders, so I'm assuming that some of the training school aircraft will have been thrown into the fray on D-Day along with the 'fresh out of the factory' units. As ever, there are conflicting references regarding interior colours as well; some appear to have been natural wood above low level green, some an RAF blue lower down with cream or interior green above, some (as mine) interior green throughout....rob_van_riel wrote:I like the weathering, as well as the rest of the work, but just out of curiosity, how weathered would these gliders actually be?
