Worn 70's

[nils]

There's no shortage of repaints here at HJG, however I feel that there's a small thing missing.

Flying in a modern theater I like these old birds to look a little worn.
Problem is the repaints on the dc-8-70's all depict the aircraft in mint condition.

Would it be feasible for someone to do a -70 repaint and add some virtual dirt to it (much like some of mr. Hartmann's African repaints) or some sandblasting effects in the right places?

I understand you guys don't want to insult any former painters by doing an update, so I found you some birds not currently featured:

This beauty is probably to nice to smudge:

No rush at all on this one, but I would appreciate the request being recorded instead of forgotten.

Some of these subjects have been mooted/suggested .... but .... not yet acted upon by our painters .... SO .... we'll just have to see what happens later
