Looks very nice Eric
The airbrush seems to be producing good work for you, is it an easy trigger control?
One of the finer points of my Paasche over the Badger I had before was its triggerability.
Were you tempted to make it look worn, these new techniques may get me going that way
I agree with DR too, its nice to see an aerial wire in use.
Rather a nice Ju87 too, Luftwaffe modellers always seem to be well catered for.

Revell Germany have certainly done their home country proud over the last 15 years or so.
The trigger on my airbrush seems to be reasonably weighted and smooth and, so far, I've had no problems with clogs, splattering etc. It's early days and sometimes these problems manifest themselves after a few months of use.
I also splashed out on an ultrasound cleaner at Scale Model World - £40 from Little Cars.com (the same people I bought the brush from).
I incorporated some weathering on the Ju87 - mainly using Promodeller washes and a silver pencil. I've tried to keep it subtle as I think, especially in 1/72 scale, excessive weathering can ruin a model. In fact, at Scale Model World there were far too many otherwise excellent models ruined by over the top weathering effects.

I thought there was some slight weathering 
Like you I think too much on a 1/72 scale just takes away from the right "look" (note my comments on some of the ones from the weekend looking more like a technical drawing than an aeroplane)
The cleaner machine sounds like an impressive buy, let us know how you get on with it wont you
