Thanks my friend @johnb!

Thanks my friend @gwskat!

You are right, my friend @gblair! The wing will exhibit many "dings" there, among others 🙂.
Thanks for liking the Hellcat looks so far!

Thanks my friend @brithebuilder! To my understanding, those Navy birds were receiving frequent touch ups whete paint would show signs of peeling, rubbing, dinging and the like. So, it will not be much of metal showing. But it will be quite a bit of dirt, grime, staining and the like.

Very nice wash, Spiros @fiveten

Some pastels and minimal silver dry brushing (only at the blade leading edges and just a tiny tad onto the wing root where the pilot and crew step on - the Navy ground crew touched up every spot that would be suspect to chipping...

Thanks my friend @johnb!
