Langdon,
Even if I got it "right the first try," unfortunately, I've no digicam or access to one. I am, however, tremendously excited about first trying it in 1/48, and saving my 1/32 kite for semi-mastery of shades & technique. Needless to say, it's going to cause a colorful "splash" in the modeling community!
As an aside, I seem to recall that the USAAC used violet and blue distemper for undersurface colors in a temporary Wargame's Camo for the B-17 or B-18. It makes one wonder where they got the idea.

Dan-San,
I'm trying to puzzle out the color separation areas. Being hand-brushed, I assume they wouldn't use masks. Would simply stopping and using the "other color"create a thin "hard/dark edge" where the colors overlapped?
