In the flesh it looks like the use of yellow over white then the orange is the best. Although in the photo I like the orange straight on the primer.

For what appears to be simple kit it caused a few problems. Prob down to my skills rather than the kit. The wings and tail plane just did not want to stay on. It's time to move on and just leave as is with all the issues on show
