Cvause -
I'll let Ken give you the advice on the covering. One quick observation I have on your scheme. The top and bottom appear to be very similar and might be difficult to keep oriented in your mind - especially if you're a beginner. You might consider a different pattern on the bottom of the wing vs. the top. It might not be as "scale" as you were going for, but then again, those Navy Pilots are sitting IN the plane when learning to fly
Regardless, I like the high vis color scheme.
