Hi,
I also did some work on this bird.

I had a big stumbling bloc in front of me: some researches on the correct colour to be used for the whole surface ended with this result: RLM 68 and this shade of green proved to be very difficult to find at least for me, specially because I wanted an acrylic colour.
Eventually I found Revell Aqua Color Schilfgrun ref. 36362 at a shop in UK, I received it and yesterday I sprayed my model:

Unfortunately the following pictures doesn't give the correct idea of that colour, because of the artificial light.

Again I hope in a sunny day, difficult in Milan in November ...

You probably forgot about this: she was sleeping in a cabinet waiting for some decals ...but no decals yet, but some painted on roundels and strips.
Masks of course made with my new cutting plotter.
Here some pictures

First masks applied on model and white paint sprayed

Roundels and strip on fuselage sides were in a lighter colour, probably faded by sun, so I tried to replicate as follows

I also had a little problem: masking tape pulled off some paint ...

Red strip on the fin needs some retouches, then I can start to work on the undercarriage that was left behind.
Some more a.s.a.p.

After some time I'm able to update this w.i.p.
Decals added followed by a coat of matt varnish.
