Other than being a G2 with K4 panel lines, looks great.

Yes I noticed that I painted on my k4 temp instead of my G2 temp after I took the screens .
I dropped the camo layers over the G2 template and it fits almost like a glove, just a little tweaking needed . Lucky me.
Ill take a few screens and post Them after work

for the moment its the colors and weathering im looking for input on

As I said, other than that, looks great to me.

I think the cloud layer you have over it right now is too visible. It's downright blotchy, especially looking at the wings. It should be more subtle, less noticable.

What's a cloud layer?
the dirty blotches on the wings represent oxidized paint bleed and dirt so as not to be clean and stark.
also to add a real world dimension to the 109 as it lived in a muddy field.

Thank you for your opinion.
Ill see how it looks if I lighten them up a bit.

You are totally free to ignore my opinion or say "Thanks, but I'm pretty set on this one", no worries at all!

I don't think the paint would oxidize (rust) at all, especially if it's fresh and it's painted over other paint. You *would* get the kinda blotchy pattern that you have, but my say on the matter is "it would be a bit more subtle".

If ya like it as ya have it, no worries. I'm here to be helpful but if I can't be I'll just "be here"

LOL funny line.

rgr I'm gona try it and see how it looks a bit lighter

as a side for what its worth.
I worked with lacquer paints exclusively for the first 15 years of my career.
trust me when I tell ya even the high quality lacquer oxidizes very very quickly when left to the elements. especially dark colors.

When lacquer paint oxidizes it doesn't "rust" per se but instead it gets dull and chalky it tends to hold stains and dirt as well as bleed its color to surrounding surfaces. its forgiving in many ways but needs allot of attention.
Looks really nice on a trailer queen show car always under cover but on a ww2 AC out in the weather It may not hold up to well.

That was my mind set when I painted it. ill try it out lighter and see if I can pull it off w/o it looking as to bold.

Raven not to mention what happens if you dont properly scuff the spot to be repainted.
And the skin looks good.

It's got a wierd look to me - like parts of the color profile were cut and pasted and sized to fit the texture

Are you scanning and stretching the image as a base layer, then doing some touch up / weathering / panel line layers on top?

Just look odd to me, but then again it could be just me.....
