I finished this one up, came out ok, mostly happy with it. I used a couple shades of black on the body but the wings mostly obscure the effect. Also used Tamiya's Clear Red to tint the nose and hatch windows. The highlights on the base might seem rather “bright” but I wanted to offset the expanse of black on the body

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Looks really good!!
Very clever idea using the red tint to simulate the interior lighting, it's worked very well!!
