Like tasteful used/weathered treatment not over done on B-17 and base it sits on.  Base does enhance appearance.   :smiley:

in 1970s a cousin did very similar realistic exhaust smoke on a B-24.  Perhaps I could practice on a used tired model.

That, sir, is a "Work of Art"! :icon_alabanza:

The interior lighting is a brilliant touch. 8)
