Seems rather.... 2 dimensional... color-wise.

Your camo demarcation under the trailing edge of the wing is too low, it should end where the wings do.

Also, I don't think I like the "pattern" prints on the wing star-and-bar. It was a new frame, barely used, and only saw combat for a couple months before the war was over. Chances are the stars and bars would be a bit more "fresh" than that.

Well from my experience with black skins and AH, I looks purplish up close, even if you use RGB 0,0,0.

5PointOh, I used 50/48/50.  Then I put a wash of, well, PURPLE over the top of it in splotches.  It looks pretty good in direct sun with the plum/purple highlights.
