    Stylistically this is a super build! You are very talented and skilled. I take my hat off! From a realism standpoint I wonder though whether these aircraft were really that heavily weathered, worn and stained. I think Drachinifel mentioned in one of his videos about carrier ops during WW II, that the aircraft were constantly maintained and the paint was touched up constantly, plus replacement aircraft that came in regulary, fresh from the factory.

    That’s a FIRST CLASS video! Great build. I learned a lot by watching it! Thank you. I thought the mottling might have been overdone a bit …? Looking at props, the chipping is usually at the leading edge and more extreme at the end of the prop that’s spinning the fastest. Not so much spread out. That’s what I’ve noticed anyway. My comments are “small potatoes”. I really did learn a lot from this high quality video that was obviously well thought out.
