LOL, extrathin even with multiple layers, i thin colors in all cases.
..yellow.. this problematic color needed six layers to show acceptable result... also two layers of white under.
Last night and this afternoon more progress, asap pictures

More updates:
Splinter scheme on top almost finished. Masked the belly and side parts to complete the green camo on fuselage, actually two layers of humbrol 116 on sides, the third will be passed probably this night including the upper fuselage that had yet two layers passed
Flaps almost done with flat colors
At the next!

Splinter and basically flat colors done, now will take cure of corrections and prepare for drybrush sessions. Also flaps almost done. Svastika will be painted with masks
At the end not so much colors was needed, about of 1/3 of jar for each main color was used despite lots of layers done. A minimum of two to six (for the only yellow)

A single jar humbrol jar for each needed color is enough ... with brush painting 
after finished the giant will take a picture of used colors
Today retouches of color separations mainly on wings boards
After masked the two tail swastikas with usual tape. Two squares with stripes insert, probably 4/5 layers of white needed

well...that an ingenious way to mask the swastika. I cant believe Ive never thought of masking that way.

And the svastika failed! the white part had acceptable result but i continued to mask the black ( i could use black decals striprs instead :( )and this was the result:
Then removed paint with thinner and sandpaper action.. 116 and black are weak with this but not the white and the 91 green (i remind all humbrol enamels) as the rlm 65.
So i removed the vertical rudder and put on a white layer as primer , then a first layer of 116 again
not pictured but wheels almost readyand gears get a silver drybrush as simulating aluminium .
At the next!
