Kind of a poll, your colour preferences, please

The stretch Transall is just about done, but I'm wavering on the paint scheme. I found an old bottle of a tan colour paint that looks good for a desert scheme, but I'm of two minds whether to leave it in one colour, or put another shade of brown on as a two-tone camouflage. Here's a picture as it is at present, let me know your thoughts:

I vote 2 tone.  I'm all for using leftover paints, but I feel two tone would help here.  Another brown would look good.  Your paint is an interesting reddish color, perhaps a good cammo for certain clay surfaces in parts of the world. 

I always liked the RAF Beverleys and Argosy's in the two desert tone. http://www.beverley-association.org.uk/c_photos-02/westood-m/103-1.jpg

White top over the cockpit also helps reduce heat- and looks good as well.

Cracking job so far!

That looks sweet. I'd add a second tone, too - depending on the aircraft's user or theatre of operations. A yellow-ish sand (as a lighter shade) would be my favorite, maybe with some small streaks in black or dark brown at the color boundaries (RAAF Caribou style?):

That's a good base colour you have, and a couple of other desert shades with a white cockpit top  would probably give you a cracking finish to what looks like a first rate  build  so  far.

But then again, it might look really good in an arctic scheme.
