The weathering for the top of the ship is done - half way there!
I have taken my time to try and get it as close to the original as I can. Unfortunately, there is very little in the way of reference for the completed top rear section of the ship (most of the photos show the rear being clean, but I believe they were taken before the weathering was completed).
Taking cues from the front half, I continued working over the back, making sure to keep it relatively subtle.
I'm pretty happy with the result so far.
There are still lots of pencil and pen marks to add as well as the decals, but they still need to be fully mapped to my 3D model first.
I will work on completing the underside weathering in the meantime...
