Thanks for the comments.
The camouflage obscures the shape somewhat. Of course, in real life that's part
of the point of having camouflage, but it doesn't help with my MOC.
It is not unlikely that in the future I will change the colour scheme to the
more common grey with black fins (the markings of VX-9's commanding Officer's
aircraft from a few years back). I've found a picture of the real jet on the net
http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0672442/L/
that shows that in real life the colour scheme is also rather wild. I would also
like to point out that the colours of my MOC are a bit more muted than they
appear to be in the pictures that I took of it.
In my opinion the shape of the MOC is een best in the pictures I took from
below, such as this one:
