Repaint and she'll look even better than now (she already looks amazing, now if you find a picture with the model your doing in that paint condition, then you can use it at a competition ? )
Dark Gull Grey shot on today. Purposefully created the light and dark patches by varying the thickness of the application so as not to make the appearance too uniform. I also tried to replicate the odd pattern at the wing root but despite making this very subtle (can't see it here due to the shadow), I don't like that it looks contrived and will likely make this a more solid colour.
Here's the nose area where the repair was done:
The prop has been masked off and colours completed. It's now ready for a shot of Future and decals.
