  Every one is aware of the quality that this kit displays.  It was a dream to put together and looks great.  I have always been a fan of the Avenger and when I had the chance to pick this kit up I jumped at it.  I decided to use it as a testbed for weathering with pastels and didn't bother using any unit markings from the kit.  I was snooping through my spare decals when I came across some nose art decals that came from a B-24 kit.  I decided that it would look really good on the nose of the Avenger so on it went.  I used Model Master paints on the plane and then began working on the weather using pastel chaulks to accent the panel lines using whites and grays on the top and browns on the underside.
