I thought I'd show a few examples of my handiwork. First up, FOV's OD B-26, which needed corrections like adding missing navigator's windows, gray not white lettering on the fuselage sides and better positioning of said lettering and the stars and bars as well:

Thanks, Jn. Yes, a good deal of it involves what might be called dry brushing, as well as finger smudging and careful dabbing.
