Yep, it's a problem shipping some things. All fluids and aerosols are prohibited, even by surface mail now, and even within a country, not just overseas. However, I did manage to send a small plastic bottle of Kristal klear inside the UK, by packing it tightly inside a small box, wrapping that, and posting it. No slopping sounds or feel, as it's basically PVA, but still banned by mail.

I'm with all the above, cracker of a job.

I am fortunate cuz the only NMF I've had to do weathering on was a Brewster from the bottom of a lake after 50 odd years. And the Mustangs I am doing are polished! So I am of no help mate.

Any weathering would be mainly tonal differences in the metal, exhaust stains, and maybe some dirt and abrasion around the wing root, where pilot/ground crew stand. Use your favourite 'normal' method, but do everything very lightly, and in moderation.
