I really like what you did here. I went a different route with my wings, as seen below. I had a really hard time because I originally spray painted the yellow, when I made some mistakes it was hard to come up with something acrylic to match it. Great job here, I love me some Tiger Force!
Thanks yours looks great too. I did that on the wings because the way they swoop forward like that they kinda feel like front paws. |

It looks like you're using gloss paints. If so, try using flat or satin paints instead. In my past experience layered gloss can have a tendency to seperate. I've never had a problem with layered flats and/or satins. You can always finish it off with a couple coats if gloss clear coat for that nice glossy shine.

Thanks, I thought about drawing toe separation lines on the tips of the wings to make it look like paws but was afraid that it would not come out right and then it would look all messed up so better to leave well enough alone.

Actually just thought about it again and the flat thing is not a guarantee either. Had a vehicle I did in flat primer and then sprayed an area in flat black and it lifted like crazy. I think that cheap spray paint is one problem. I seem to have less problems with more expensive brands but it is all null and void if I just use my airbursh instead
