Excellent job. I built the dumpy Revell Falcon a few years ago. When weathering I almost exclusively used pastels. My first time with them. I opted for them for a similar reason to you, the traditional wash techniques seem to over darken light base colours quickly.
A suggestion for your screw holes in the lower part of the model. Try obtaining some closed cell neoprene cord of the appropriate diameter. Cut with a sharp scalpel should give a clean finish. You can then jam the little foam bungs into the screw holes and paint over them. They will be easy to pull out if you need to.
Personally, I wouldn't bother, it looks superb anyway:thumbsup
