That would have been interesting to see when you airbrushed all those lines!
Looking good!

Must have taken hours to do this... Are you going to tone them down a bit later?

Thought about an oil filter after the clear coat. Or I could use the same green tones as a filter straight on top.
What'cha think?

Maybe a rather thin overspray by the grey base tone?

Ah, ok, guess I was on the "woodway".
The contrast of the pic is a bit heavier than the real thing looks like. But you're absolutely right, a light mist of the base colour will tone that plate of spaghetti down a bit.
Thanks mate!

Thank you, Owl! Sprayed a light blue filter over all that curly wurly and a layer of stinking Future on top.
Today I cared for the decals.

The lighting also seems to have improved. Looks this much better now, especially with the decals on. Very close to the finish line now!

The camo is amazing. Makes me dizzy. I like this one a lot.

I love squiggly lined birds. Why the tail wings not on yet?
