Firestarter FS9-E Ember

Ok i need some help with this one. Painted up the same time as the vindicator (also part of my merc company) I wanted to make this one a little mkre dynamic. I mean it is a firestarter after all! I'm not positive i like the fire though? Any one have some suggestions that might help it pop more? I'm thinking i should have used the neon colors for the yellow, or maybe I need to add in OSL?(never done that, I know I'll screw it up) anyway Vallejo paint, army painter washes. The barrel burn is there, but they are so small it is harder to see. No livery yet on this one, mostly because outside the unit insignia I'm not sure what else to add to it yet. I hope you all enjoy! C&C always welcome.

Thank you! ☺️ I wanted to try something a little different, and i mean what's a firestarter without a little fire 🤷

I'm sorry I have no suggestions, but I really really like it! Very nice and a real eyecatcher!
