This is a dumb post, but I'm doing it anyway:
Thank you for your efforts to keep the 1:18 plane market alive.
Forget weathering. Please just produce factory fresh 1:18 airplanes.
Thank you.

Forget the "touch ups". Spent many a year with the F-14 and the blotches aren't anykind of weathering I've ever seen on one regardless of high or low vis but it does appear they were trying for the touched up affect. Out at sea generally any aircraft get various very unprofessional looking touchups via an airbrush, yes an airbrush, or a larger paint gun and they do look like this but geez they went way overboard with it if that's what they were trying for. Maybe they modeled it after one that just flew threw a hail storm...

LOLLL

No biggie, just use some hydrochloric acid as previously suggested (as a joke I'm sure) on those spots, guaranteed to remove em'

Good luck to anyone who is going to attempt to "blend" those spots, I don't care what you use it will not be easy, no sir.

Alrighty then.

Anyone who is going to attempt to "blend" the spots or otherwise "fix" the existing paint job has a daunting task ahead of them I'm afraid, and a complete repaint may be the only way to cure this thing of the measles. That seems like a particularly bitter pill to swallow given the pricetag.

Yeah.
Hows about a minimized business risk because they're well known planes: P-51 B/C, P-40E or Hurricane.
I can think of more, but just one of those or all three would be fine for starters.
