Question Weathered??

Do people here like weathered models? Corgi seem to be expanding their weathering across the range, they started with the UH1 helicopters, now they're doing Zero's, Sunderland's and stuff too. Originally I was very sceptical as I've seen attempts at factory weathering before but these are remarkably good very effective. Whilst I would not want my whole collection to be weathered, I do like the idea of a part of it having an in service look, it adds a bit of variety and realism I think.

I like weathering but not when it is overdone!

I think it depends on the model. I like the beat up look on most models but some need to be in showroom condition.
Corgi seems to have it together in this department.
