Your paints are very sticky. You need to dilute them with a thinner.
The color scheme is some sort of anti-camouflage  -_- . The stars are GIANT, and this red "saucer"!..
The stars on the wings are reversed (back to front).

Do you know about Yakovlev Yak-44? It was a real project of carrier-based AEW aircraft similar to E-2:

The camo in and of itself isn't all that bad - I've seen Naval Flankers that look roughly in a similar pattern of camo.  The Markings are what kinda give it the anti-camo effect.  Of course, E-2's tend to carry some weird patterns on top of the dome, so who knows.

The Yak-44 has some very interesting differences if you look up close, like it avoids the, as an E-2 crewman and I joked, "Flying Dong" cockpit style, overall showing a very sleek fuselage.  It also lacks the inner tails, including the Fake Tail which is Port Inboard - It's a fin, but it does NOT move at all.  Interestingly, as you can see, it's got the vertical tips on the wings, and it also has the contra-props on its turboprop engines - the Russians seem to like doing contraprop turboprops...

The Yak-44's engines are Progress D-27 - just the same as on the An-70 transport aircraft. They are much more powerful than E-2's T56 - 14.000 hp instead of 5170. Because of this, Yak-44 is much faster: its (projected) maximum speed is 740 km/h, while E-2C reaches only 598 km/h.
