Your finished product looks great! I am in the middle of this build but in a quandary about upper surface paint colour. I do not have access to Humbrol 123 Extra Dark Sea Grey. I have painted the upper surface Tamiya XF-24. To my untrained eye it appears too dark. I have any number of different shades of Grey but cannot decide which one to use to lighten it up slightly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have Tamiya and AK acrylics.
Thanks

gs23084 I'm using Vallejo model air colours most of the time lately. I used 71.049 Sea Grey on the top and it does seem a shade lighter than the pot of XF24 I've got. Pretty close tho. 71.302 Sky Type S on the underside of that helps
