Looking good!  Looks like you are experimenting with weathering?  Shot below may be helpful - it shows the upper surface midnight blue to have faded and grayed-out just a bit.

actually, that's the stock skin, just rebadged

you'd think the Dauntless would have flush rivets, but having seen real ones -- and that pic REALLY shows it -- they didn't!

On the subject of the Dauntless, here is an interesting story.  First shot shows the Northrop BT-1, which was a development of the early 1930s Northrop Gamma.  For most of the 1930s, Northrop was a little mom and pop airplane company.  Northrop sold the BT-1 design to Douglas to get through a financial rough spot, and a young Douglas engineer by the name of Ed Heinemann upgraded the design to create the Dauntless.  So.....the great grand daddy of the Dauntless was the Northrop Gamma - I flipped the second shot to better show the similarities.

 

EDIT: The Squadron/Signal pub on the Dauntless describes the development process in greater detail.

RAF No 99 COS SQD "99ers"....hence the ice cream cone sqd emblem,("COS" Squadron ,"Covert Ops") F4E_FGR7S (S=Single seat version)
Special Operations sqd created with unique special codes,for secret missions any where in the world they are needed,currently they fly over Afghan,on night sorties along side US "Special Forces\USAF\US Intelligence services,the squadron is based in a highly guarded and special area at RAF Coltishall hence Tail code "C" pilots are selected from RAF`s top squadrons,and do not mix with normal aircrew of the RAF in general,these aircraft do the work that the UK Government "Deny" take place,they are technically the flying arm of the UK Military secret services.
