How much weathering is enough and what is too much? Weathering does add more realism to a model but can't a rather "clean" aircraft also be realistic? My thoughts before I get into the weathering are 1. How old or how long has this aircraft been in service or at the front lines? 2. What period of the war is it? In the early stages of WW2 aircraft ground crews had more time for paint and minor damage repair than later on. 3. Whose aircraft was it? In the latter stages of the war the Luftwaffe ground crews had their hands full just trying to keep aircraft operational 4. Geographic location. By this I mean how far from the supply center or parts depot is the unit? The afrika corps A/C were harder to maintain than those ,say in France, because of the length of thej supply line.
Any other view pionts on this topic?

Country: | Very nice models there Wayne.I like the Me262. 
As far the weathering is concerned, I think it depends on the scale of a model.Weathering which looks excellent on a big one it may give an impression of a dirty model in 1:72 scale.In a result of this a small model without weathering can appear much better one.It is also very easy to disfigure a very good painting on a model with bad weathering.So,if we decide to make weathering on our models we shouldn't exaggerate with this.Certainly,I agree with DOUGRD the mentioned by him points have to be taken into consideration but they are a part of the problem only.Simply a model is not a real machine.

Country: | Weathering is my friend...........hides my mistakes 
But actually I do it because it makes the model mine. I like battle worn or things that are worked hard. Makes it more real for me. However a clean model is always welcome
