This is going to be something to be proud of Harv 
OK, DRUM ROLL...THe WINNER IS.......Found my color ! Lots of people from other sites also, helped me with tis, and I'm very grateful ! A great big THANK YOU to Chuck !!
The first pic is some pre color on some made up panels, to see , If anything, would stand out. It didn't so I'll pass entirely on this, and hope the post shading will accomplish this.
The second pic is painted, and inside light. The third is outside light. Thanks for all the help, everyone ! Please let me know what YOU think...........Harv

I have been so excited about this, Please, all comments and critiques are welcome !
Hope you enjoy as much as I am.
Sprayed clear gloss this morning, and most of the masking removed. Stuck the tires on for effect. I think the salt is a little over done, but not too bad. I think the pit really makes it POP, as well as the engine detail.Thanks for stopping by............Harv ( the happy camper)
Still lots to do, weathering, props and spinners, wing tanks bay doors and of courses, Eli's great decals......

Way to go Harv, great job. You could dry brush black around some of the larger spots to tone them down if you think you need to. Personally I dont think you do.
Looks sweet Harv! The chips on the leading edge look great. On the walkways to the cockpit I'd try something different though.(If you're the happiest camper in the world then leave it. I'm not trying to be critical and I'm not going to to into some long diatribe of what you should or shouldn't do. Just sayin.) I had the same problem on the P-38 I did a little while back. I couldn't get the walkways to look right. I ended up just over spraying everything with the AB. Trying to get that scratchy worn off walked on look is difficult! Man she's looking good though. Nice job man! 
What a nice color! ;D Say, if you think the chipping is overdone, try using a torn sponge to dab a little base coat back over them. It will be irregular and blend nicely, iff if the colors and tranparency don't match perfectly. That's the beauty of the whole weathering thing- it's imperfect, and you can always cover up a mistake with, well- some other mistake!
Looking good, my friend!
