Next step is cleanup, then weathering.

Not happy with the paint clumping not with the camouflage.

Nice scheme Eric! What Kow does,( albeit with lacquer),which I'm  sure you could do too ,is very lightly (glass paper) sand the cam. back,this also gives the cam. that canonical SF3d blurred look.

Well done (we all see our errors - more after we post a photo lol). The only recommendation I have is that the base seems a little sparse, so maybe add a tuft of dry grass or some snow?

Here is my falcon (Falke). I'm trying some of the colors that Westphalia Chris had suggested. I'm not too keen on the lack of contrast but it might turn out with some squadron markings and decals.

What do you guys think?

My daughter prefers teal to green.  This is today's progress.

I think it is nice and subdued. If you want more contrast, maybe add octopus rings inside the dark splotches, using a lighter grey than the other main tone?

I've come to like this camo quite a bit since I encountered it. It might serve for a broken cloud effect.

This is a theme that should have been (should be!) done in anime!
