I over-brushed these areas with the Humbrol version of this colour, which looks more suitable to me.
Jet pipes painted with Hu: 171
The airframe was airbrushed with Klear and I applied the decals using Microset and Microsol.

Very nice result. Those combinations looked like they would be a handful for the pilot.
