I, too, am a huge fan of your builds. I always get a little excited when I see a new post by Old Coyote. I build like you do; nice and clean but not over the top. Keep 'em comin, man.
If you have access to Tamiya and don't mind spending the extra coin for small cans, their Aircraft Light Blue is a nice chassis color too. Looks closer to the grey used in the 80's and early 90's (if it was even a different color than current).
