Final result- under magnification- or macro photo, it is discern-able, but under my bifocals at a distance of 12", I can't see it. If and when I get to "light weathering" (I am modeling 1950s- these guys got washed every few days) it should blend in well enough.
Thanks to everyone who offered help, advice and educational co6mmentary (even if off topic).
Looks pretty good to me, but then again I'm the guy who said the grabs on the BLI F's didn't look all that bad.
