That's way you should have added some white to the paint to make it lighter for 1/72 scale. Anyway, looking quite good.
Actually it's not quite as dark as it looks in the pic, I think the camera metered on the white paper... plus it's still glossy for the decals which seems to make it look darker. I have used exactly the same paint (from the same tin) on my Phantom which has a satin/semi-gloss finish and looks... OKish
Fact is I'm just plain lazy when it somes to mixing paints, and I 'd be worried about the FAA collection progressing and findign I've got a bunch of planes all with different shades of EDSG.
(EDSG looks blue in some photos)
