Even on some of the slightly 1/48 kits the cockpits are so small, can’t believe the detail people can get into them. All the different marks you mention, I need to keep in mind for my attempts!
The way you speak sounds almost like folk lore of the pro camo model painter ;)
Sound like he knew what he was good at then!

Indeed, my old school mate not only did the camo artwork but scorch marks, bullet holes, even the decals in lieu of water transfers. The cockpit paint job he did on a large scale harrier jump jet was truly awesome. He was kind enough to paint my Sikorsky (S-76 from memory) helicopter in desert camo before I built it. It was a pro paint job for sure.
We lost touch after secondary school (1984), I reckon he went on to build models for a living, heavily influenced by sci-fi back in the day. Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars space craft were his passion too.
