Aviation nerdery incoming. If that bores you, feel free to skip to pics. So looking to paint some Z-95's and looking at WW2 US schemes for inspiration. I ended up settling on a mix of F4F Wildcat and P40 Warhawk in case I'm mixing upgrades between them and used early war identification markings. Seemed appropriate because, much like Z-95's during the GCW, the Wildcat and Warhawk weren't top of the line, but a good pilot could still get plenty of work done in one.

Nice job on the camo pattern!

Very nicely done!

If I may make a recommendation, I've found that painting the cockpit glass in a hi gloss finish works nicely to give the cockpit that glassy look.

You could use a high gloss clear coat. Another option would be to use a high gloss oil paint in a darker primary color (blue I think is common, but whatever color was predominate for the interior of the cockpit works).

I'm also impressed with the numbers & star pattern on the wings. I know how difficult those fine patterns can be, to get on correctly.

Good work. Symbols and numbers look perfect at table distance. I feel a bit weird these historic schemes on Star Wars, but the paintjob is fine.

Beautifully done.

Where is number 4?

Excellently done, btw.

There will be 8 when I get around to finishing, half and half, so #4 would be another navy ship
