Looking great mate!
One suggestion with dry brushing silver make sure the brush almost has no paint whatso ever on it. Then gentley brush the areas you want highlighted. Initially a metallic look will appear and then gradually become more silver or more appropiately 'worn look'.
Keep it up my friend

The 109 sure looks glossy from the photo angle.
The Silver does need to be as Alex suggests minimal and 'dry'.

The '109 looks glossy enough in the pic Daniel.
If you want to tone down the silver for the weathering on the B26, add a very small spot of matt white, and dry-brush as described. This will make it a more dull alumininium colour, rather than bright silver. Don't worry too much about maybe overdoing it on the B26, as the Marauder was known for having extremely heavy paint wear, as shown in the attached pics. I think it was a combination of the paint type, and the very smooth surface probably, allied to British/European weather!

Many thanks Terry! You've done a superb job with that Marauder!
Is that the Eski /Revell 1/48 kit?

Thanks Daniel (and the other guys!), it's the 1/48th Revell kit (ex-1970's Monogram). Still got a bit to do on it, which will be done when it's on its diorama base in Part Two of the Diorama Guide.
Anyway, back to your thread, I only posted it to show that heavy weathering isn't always overdone!!
