Nephilim Jetfighter For both the Lions Blades and Y Geiriadur

So I won a Nephilim Jetfighter on ebay the last weekend and it arrived at my hole during the week. Here's a picture of my Nephilim Jetfighter and my dodgy left knee before the project started
It turns out I given the last of my black spray paint to my student friend so I asked her if she had any more and I ended up with a can of blackboard paint. With the spray coat of black board paint and the canopy unpainted, dorsal and ventral views.
These next 2 photos show it after I gave a coat of Abbadon black and then added the red highlights to the edges to tie it in with Y Geiriadur, it doesn't show up to well but I had dry brushed the engines and sensors with Bolt gun metal and dry brushed the mechanicum symbols with the old metalic bronze. I was thinking of adding some screaming skull to the engine cowl which I'll layer on a couple of washes of nuln oil.
This was a test piece to see which looked better the engine cowl or the recessed wing plate and as you can read it didn't go down to well;
A N~ looks botched.. but thats just my opinion, your tones are way too bright
A N~ and thin that paint..
P P P~ Will be adding a nuln oil wash before i'm saying it is done.
N S~ Perhaps do the entire bottom in screaming skull with the nulin oil wash to replicate the attempt to make aircraft hard to see from ground. leave the top black with some sort of grey wash to make it a touch faded. Gun metal dry brush on top to bring out edges. Just my noob opinion. I like the black/red/white color scheme. But from the top, it may end up looking like the Atlanta Falcon's emblem.
P P P ~ Well already got t'other engine cowl done and washed t'other one, also done the control surfaces on the tail wings with screaming skull. I think I'd do the underside Khark Stone and then wash that with nuln oil. Bit darker
F B II~ The flat nature of this model on the wings makes it suck to paint. Mine doesn't look even due to no dilution either. I like the color, but think it would look cool with the cowl and the wing in that skull. Just leave the wing emblem black? I like it though..
