  Same sentiments when I 1st saw that too! hahahaha Anyway think the modeller (of the IDF Viper) should be a Chinese (or non-Muslim Chinese).

  Would an F-15E be too complicated for a first-time model?

  But I got a broken M1A2 in my drawer just waiting to be fixed. Really screwed up that one. Should go for the paint and all that stuff at my first time or should I just concentrate on the basic structure?

  mud and rusty go and get pastel chalk from arts friend. Red brown will simulate rust. Or you can buy those pre made dust like mig pigments from model shps to simulate dust or mud condition. Lastly, oil paint, such as burnt sienna and raw umber and act as oil stains. Read up more on oil/enamal washing.

  Hey , gotta ask this , how do a modeller keep his artefact ?
  
  got comment from you guys of having a glass display shelf . Okay , havent have time to go down ikea yet , but usually how do they keep the model without collecting dust , few of my plane is now dusty le , so no choice i all place it multiple pastic bag to avoid dust contact
  
  By the way , my house is not an enclose room , so dust are everywhere
