Thanks Graham ! They look better in real life. If I was using solvent paint I think they would have come out better as I know I can spray at a lower pressure and get finer detail.

@ Julian - Yeah I thinned some black down so it was mostly thinner to build up the colour gradually for the shading on the flag. I did put other colours in to try and darken it in a more subtle way but they all got lost when I put the backing colour on so I can't have put enough on, I still find it very difficult working backwards. And I can't take any credit for the design Alec was very precise about what he wanted and how he wanted it, I just evolved past shells that he had painted before.
