So this is the scheme you're going with?
Good match!
Bring that lower color up over the wing root some Paul.

Thank you Ian and to everybody else. I think the fat lady sang, I only have three pieces to put on and Ill do that tomorrow when I can see better. I decided I needed a new backdrop for my pics too. Wha cha think?
Nothing like a plastic table cloth from the dollar store for only $1.00. It looks better to me but then what do I know?

Great work Paul 
good idea about the back drop.
And nice little base you have there also.
But I LOVE those barrels!

Great job, Paul. Especially for going from start to finish in around two weeks.
For the background, If I was you, I would head to someplace that sells fabric and buy a few feet of whatever colors you want. Its pretty cheap especially when you look into the stuff they are trying to get rid of.

Looks good Paul!
The gun barrels look nice but they are sticking out pretty far. The end of the barrels should line up with the faint panel line on the cowl.
Don't worry about the backdrop thing, try taking your pictures outdoors using a natural setting. Indoor pictures of finished models are just too much work for the kind of results one gets from doing that. Sometimes the easy way is the best way. :hmmm

Well, this is all well and good. Don't know where Paul is but I can't think of any place near here that would look natural for that bird

Yeah, outdoor pics here would just be replacing the solid black background for a solid white one!
But at least the light source would be better.
As for colors of backgrounds I was once told it is best to stick to neutral grey colors. It helps the camera to balance the light better.
