Weathering looks great and part from strip cleaning your cowlings with a spot of thinners (been there) what method do you use for weathering!
 
I'll start with abit of fading of the panels just by using a lighter colour of the paint i used , then ill lightly sand and blend it together so it dosen't look all the same , do some chipping by using the sponge technique and a brush , chipping fluid works well on armor models , then i'll either use enamel or oils to do the panel line and rivet detail , then use oils to do exhaust marks , oil and fuel leaks , do some light splash effects with highly diluted oils , use light mud oil to do dust on the tyres and walk ways , u can mix in some dust pigments with the oil paint and that works pretty good .
Check this guys youtube video's , he does awesome work , mostly armour but u can still use the techniques.
