Thanks!  I'm pretty happy with the results so far.  After the first coat dries, I'll darken up a few areas.

I agree with Bud! The funny thing about when I do streaks is that I usually have a point where I don't like them. Once assembled to the point you have yours, and Markings start to be applied I then begin to feel better. I have liked yours all of the way  :D

Thanks again, everyone!
Rick, I had the same feeling.  I think when you look at the individual parts too long you don't get the sense of the overall effect. That's why I stuck the pieces together last night.  Probably the worst thing you can do is go over the streaking too many times.  It seems clear they just quickly brushed the pieces at the factory.

First shot of Misterkit Fokker Turquoise.  I bit too intense, I think.  Should be grayer or toned down?  Opinions appreciated.

The colour you have used is very close, I think once you add the flat/satin clear coat the colour will be correct.

Drew,
I have used the same colour for mine Voss Dr I. It comes very close to real.
Very beautiful paint to the underside of your builds.
Cheers
