Thanks Gents, and thanks for the advice.

I spent a while thinking about this and how much great can play with you eyes - Stik's right, it all depends on the light.

As an experiment I painted the nose DSG and placed the model against slight background... Suddenly it looks right!

Btw, it looks a bit rough at the moment as it's only one coat of MSG! :hmm: I do like that futured canopy!

Cheers!

Some grays really change majorly depending upon lighting conditions. They grays chosen for “sky camouflage” schemes usually have those properties.

Lighting and back ground make ALL the difference sometimes as shown here. Looks good Stuart. :shoutout:
