Stuart:
Thank you, my chromate yellow turned more to an olive yellow (gear bays and machine gun bay) but I think the colour looks appealing anyway.
The camera is a Fujifilm Finefix S. It isn't super advanced, but it works pretty nicely!
Stick:
Thanks for the info, while I was aware of the colour difference, I painted the green first because I mixed it first. I will be putting a black on the floor after the green is fully coated.
Jeaton:
I put some nice white bulbs in the lamps, they look much better now. I have a picture that shows the difference. I was seeing how the yellow geared lights were confusing the camera, I tried to adjust the white balance, but decided just to switch my light bulbs instead.
Keavdog:
Model Car Magazine has a group build in their community section for replicas. The idea isn't to rebuild a real vehicle, but to rebuild a model you did as a kid. I chose the P-51 because I enjoyed the kit and I knew I could do a much better job this time around. If you want to see the rest of the group and their builds, go on over to Model Car Magazine's forum.

Just to share possibilities from your existing “dark” images. I also reduced the color noise.

Great with the new lamps, makes a HUGE difference if the white balance is off
