this is the decoration I choose
Painting time is approching so it is time to do some improvment with paint

About the white:
 it won't be pure white so I tried mixing with blue or beige...






It will be white with beige...

About the black , there is no black paint in it!!!
I mixed primary colors (yellow red and blue) with a double of blue to reach a blueish black:

An interesting approach to finding colors to use.  You will no doubt learn a lot by mixing your own colors.
And, great detailing on this model!

I started painting the white:
12 flat white H2 / 1 sail color H85



Then in the ribbs an the trailing edge
12 flat white H2 / 3 sail color H85


Then pure white and base color diluated:



Quite happy with the result
