Sally B is a good site for ideas.
Maybe the Poddington squadrons livery is best

Eurofighter started
Sprayed up the parts in number 64 Humbrol grey, and started weathering, i have gone for a clean look as its not really an old used plane, which bring out the panel gaps, but iv left the dirty used effect in places in small amounts

All i can say is why is it shiny? It should be matte paint. It also looks the wrong shade of grey! You know, even on a mucky one, and I'm looking at one now, you can't see the panel gaps as pronounced as much as you have there. The gaps are filled with a filler so they are hardly visible. There's also an aerial missing off one of your rear EBDs.
Panel shapes are very realistic though. Does it come with a MAW for the rear, better know as a donkey's dick!
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

flash makes it look shinier then it is, although it is a satin varnish. I might go over with a matt varnish later. The colour isnt 100% but then i dont think any of them are. Apart from the tsr, but thats white lol. The problem is aerosol colour choice is limited
