Exhaust Metallic paint on, I will do the weathering later on. I tried Vallejo metal color for the first time and I really like it.  
 

Album image #6
Only one green left! 
 

Album image #7
Can't assess if Vallejo FS34012 is too dark but both shades of green look identical in 1/48. I did lighten up the light green for the SEA camo

If the Eduard is not available, you can get the Academy (same kit) plus after market sets you want. I like more the Aires cockpit, but Eduard set is a lot easier to fit

I'm really enjoying the Academy model, It has a lot of parts but they fit really well. Regarding the cockpit, I bought the Eduard interior set but the original detail in the cockpit is really good and I wouldn't have bough it if I had known. There is no harnesses though, I am having mixed feelings about the Eduard steel set but it is my first steel seatbelts and the end result looks really good. I will post photos of the cockpit soon.

I love this particular aircraft flown by Robin Olds (Scat XXVII). Have this one in my stash and want to recreate the "sandblasted" look the aircraft had during operations in SEA but I fear my skills in no way match my ambition 🙂
You are doing justice to this aircraft though !
