Outstanding thread. After looking at all the tank pix, it seems to me that modelers tanks are grossly under-weathered. I have 2 questions I hope someone can answer. Post #61, page 5. The B-25 showing a primered coating. Were all aircraft primered before the camo was applied? If so, I notice that modelers always show bare metal under the camo scheme, myself included. Heavily weathered aircraft would show metal but I would think that it would be edged with primer and then the camo. My thoughts would be (unless no primer was applied) Camo, slightly weathered, Camo, primer, and then heavily weather, camo, primer, metal. Post #299, page 39. Anyone know the model of the striped P-39? Any answers would be greatly appreciated to improve my weathering and a chance to model another odd-ball scheme.

Many Thanks,
Geo
