Ditto. You have really nailed the dulled-down, flat look. I love it. The nose pic is a bit overexposed so hard to tell, but looks like you've done the first build I've seen to correctly represent the nose-block grey stripe, also. Well done sir!
edit: seconding REL, it is the best X-wing paint job I've seen.

What a masterpiece this is, Its always nice to have a goal to aim too & boy this has given me one. I wish I had another V3 as my next one is already not to be Red 5.
Dean any chance you could talk through some of your technique & methods? I also think its really cool that each of the great artists here has there own style, your trade marks are very noticeable on this build, you can see straight away who painted it, absolutely stunning. A true idol

Gotta agree here, that is the most wicked red 5 paintjob I've seen to date!!!!
Not bad, Dean...
One thing though - and I see this on virtually every paintjob - is the yellow is too saturated and too primary. For some reason, that one offending color always jumps out at me as being worse than the various interpretations of blue and green I see. Here's the actual color:
I think having that much primary saturation takes the thing into toy-land but quick. Overall, though, very nice attention to detail there!

WOW!!!!:eek
OK now that I came down to my senses, just amazing!!!!
Dean painted my Blockade runner, Y-wing and now my V3 Red 5,
I just love your weathering technique, just TOP NOTCH!!! I'm a very very picky guy and takes alot for someone to impress me, though I've seen amazing builds/paintjobs in photos, Dean's works looks amazing in photos but even better in person. I concider myself a very good model builder just not at level when it comes to weathering, I can tell good work done with love and passion.

On my Blue Leader I used some yellow panels. However i didn't paint them. I used yellow pastel chalk which gives a much more delicate color. As seen here.
