FINALLY FINISHED! After several paint jobs I finally settled on the Hobby Lobby's artist grade acrylic paint. I will need to experiment more with thinning the paint to prevent leaving brush marks. If I thinned it too much it seems to lighten the color. However it is much more brilliant than the craft paint. I finished it off with water base gloss polyurethane. It ended up far from the vision I had to begin with, but I'm pleased with the result.

Some more views. I did learn a lot from this model that I can apply to my next one.

Thanks guys! It was a frustrating build but I learned a lot from it as usual.

Very nice indeed, great colour scheme, I use artists acrylic flow improver to thin my acrylic paints, they allow brushing without marks and don't affect the colour. I use the Windsor and Newton brand which comes in a dropper bottle so you can add a little at a time to get the right consistency. Regards Paul J.

Thanks Paul! I definitely will look for that thinner.
