Those colours look convincing in both of the test photos. As I am sure you are aware, trying to reproduce 'accurate' colours in a scale model is a tightrope act, because of the lighting conditions of the real plane, historical information on colour shades, and then adjusting for scale distance. Many plastic modellers deliberately add some variation in the colour over large surfaces anyway to add realism.


As for the cowl handles in 72nd scale, challenge accepted. Of course, they could be replaced with wire.
