Now from a purist stand point, this is no longer a true representation of a BN, but since I used artistic license I chose not to care because it’s my ship and my build.
That said, even from a purist stand point, if you did the black and everything above like the original BN, then you could claim it is a representation of the ship being built and they have not painted the red yet!

At the end of the day, it’s your ship, and years after this build log is finished, you will be the one to see it daily! So follow your heart and do what is pleasing to your eye! That’s my opinion!
