I prefer the drawing to the right, looks like it's taking shape. Absolutely!

I like the tail feathers all one color as a base with your accents. Great!

The angled line on the fuselage is to "angled." Follow the angle of the vertical stab. Just bring it forward a bit from the vert. stab. line.

Complementry colors. Colors have "values." Complements can work, but they work better when the value is changed. Bright orange with robin's egg blue, for example. Or, bright yellow with light violet instead of a deep purple.

Nothing wrong with pastel colors. Girls like them.

Keep in mind that these ideas and thoughts are just MYHO. My goal has always been, to have models that don't look like everyone elses models. Even when the model is the same. Schemes are everything.

Color choice, color combinations, percentages of colors, and the application or use of them, "in designs," is what makes a great looking model. Takes time and a thought process, not to mention, a bunch of "thumb nail" drawings. That's how it's done.

Now, for those that can just pull a scheme out of thin air, you have my blessings.

Gotta tell ya, the drawings are shaping up!

Well worth the effort.

Almost at the "Finish Line!"
