Scary huh?
OK well it seems that the colours are all a bit weird - hence Factor40's confusion as to the actual colour. The red is actually red, not orange as it seemed in the screwed up black background pic.
Vaaish, I think I understand your comment regards to the red toning being too bright, but I'm honestly too scared to do something like a Devlan Mud wash on the reds for fear of ruining the model which I feel is acceptable as is. Playing with Devlan Mud during painting the hull it seemed to me to give very inconsistent results in terms of pooling and coverage.
Also, the red tone I'm using I deliberately tried to match to the red tone on the Daunless I had painted previously. I took a side-by-side pic of them:

(the colouring still isn't perfect in this picture - the reds aren't quite so orange looking in real life)
But I guess you feel that the red tone works better on the Dauntless because it's main hull is a much darker shade...
Oh yeah I can make that....
