Thanks guys.
In the last few days I finished the multiple coats of Future and tonight I started the decals. I'll have pictures when I have them all on.
 
The kit decal for the kill markings (picture 1) were German crosses which is wrong. The real thing has Swastikas (picture 2). I found some black Swastika kill marks in the spares box, but the single white one eluded me so I hand painted it. (picture 3) It's a little large but I can live with it. The last picture shows all the decals on.

Already part way there Karl. Stayed up late yesterday and did the panel lines using a wash of acrylic black and alcohol. The alcholol eats into the Future a little and gives it a kind of streaky, dirty look. You just have to be sure to wipe it off fast and in the direction of the airflow. I'll take some pictures after work tonight.
 
Tonight I put on a coat of Dull Cote, then did the pastel weathering. I did it rather heavy as the picture shows it being quite dusty and dirty. I then sealed it with another application of Dull Cote and removed the canopy masks. Now comes all the little breakable parts.

The pastel weathering came out really nice, it really 'uped' the reality level of the subject!
