@Ouky1991 I would greatly appreciate some tips to be able to skin like you! You camo/paint schemes are in my opinion one of the best and I don’t know how you do it haha, do you have a special brush or setting I’m missing out on ? you get the paint looking just right. 

Thanks. I don't use anything special. I never keep the original camo colors because they seem too dark. So generally I tend to make camos brighter, more washed out.

 

For example on the side of the plane, I paint the lover parts darker and upper parts brighter as sun would make it more brighter on top and dirt would make it darker closer to the ground.

When I made Alan Deere's skin, I downloaded bunch of those hand painted pictures and small scale models photos and used colors from them. Once I get the colors right, I randomly paint parts of the plane a few shades darker and other parts few shades brighter. Then I just smudge it (not sure if it's the name for that, my GIMP is in czech language).

The more detailed parts of exhaust weathering are partly cloned from some model pic and rest is hand painted to match the look. I would credit the modeler but couldn't find that original picture.

 

Provided Templates by ICDP have enough weathering layers to make it look good Afterwards.
