Wow. After seeing what you did I'm thinking you don't really want any large areas of yellow and blue, but more of a pin stripping effect, maybe something along leading edges. The metallic looks amazing.
Are you an aquarist? I noticed the penguin boxes in the background.

Just as an aside, having heard your voice on Youtube, and read the sheer volume of British-sounding colloquialisms in your posts: you're not a natural Floridian, are you?

No mate,
Berkshire born, Berkshire bread, strong in the arm and thick in the head :wacko

I've lived in Florida since 2002
Couldn't take the crappy English weather any more. Over here its either really hot or really really hot :cool
I now live within walking distance of the Miami International speedway
And within a 1/2 hour drive from Key Largo
I believe I am the most southerly RPF member in the U.S.A

Ah, that explains it! I went to college in Thame, and used to nip up the A40 to Stratford and Brum, so I know Banbury well enough!
I'm down in Surrey, not a million miles away, and, with the current temperature being +30° C, not million degrees from Florida!

Newbury, not Banbury.
Newbury is about 30 miles south of Oxford
So we are both Southern Tossers, rather than Northern Monkeys correct?
The temperature was 29C as i drove to work in the dark this morning. :wacko, In August and September it gets hotter, it does rain here but its warm rain and the temperature is still in the 80's (26C+). Warm puddles :lol my favourite

Evenin Every Peeps,
Thank you for the comments, at this stage, more than ever, i appreciate everyone who takes the time to leave a message.
Its getting close to crunch time and i am nervous because i could really bugger this up if i don't chose the appropriate final paint pattern.
Only i can decide, i have done maybe 35-40 variations but nothing has 'spoken' to me, yet.
But thats later,
First, we must do some touch ups.
I seem to of missed this back section entirely whilst painting, to much Voddy maybe.
So i was back to the usual routine, mask.
Base colour of metallic grey
Matt black 'scorch' marks
De-mask
I then masked off various random panels and gave them a light shot with some different shades of grey.
After looking at the ship for quite some time i decided something didn't flow right, in this picture there seemed to me that there was a deffinate disconnect between the front wing section and the main wing section
Can you see what i mean.
So i masked off the small intake section on the front and gave it the metallic grey edge, crome silver center, matt black low lights treatment
I then masked the top vents, inserting a piece of paper to cover the inside details, gave them a shot of gloss black then some Alclad chrome.
Then did the same for the rear grill
Personally, i think it looks better
Now comes the tricky bit.
I added some yellow and blue masking tape to represent my favourite pattern idea so far
I don't want to cover the rear upper wing details with the colour but i do want it to be an interesting shape and not just boring pin stripe lines, i think they have to be straight as curved just looks random and wrong to me.
I figure that 'Kiko', my pilot, is an individual dude (like me) and wants some colour on his ride he's handy with a spray gun so he can custom paint it himself but he appreciates the asthetic lines of the ship so wants to compliment them and not destract from them.
Got it, piece of cake right.
I need opinions folks, this is driving me crazy, i am, quite literally, losing sleep over this. I think i have an overactive brain.
Help me RPF'ers
My least sucky design so far with tape.
The missus is in Vegas for a few days with work so i'm 'Home Alone' till early Monday morning, so if i'm not at my bench, i'm gunna be sleepin or cookin, or i might go to the movies to see Pacific Rim tomorrow morning for a bit of inspiration.
You know i've never been to the movies by myself.
OK people, pizzas is done, dinner time.
Let the weathering begin, after a few more little odds and sods.
Stay tuned my brothers and sisters

Every group of pictures is better than the last.
I like the stripe design you put on - one possible suggestion: perhaps reverse it, so that the blue is on the outside? I'm wondering if the yellow might blur with the gray if seen at a distance.
Regardless, don't worry about the coloring. You've shown an incredible eye for design so far. Whatever paint scheme you decide on will be fine.
