Neat! Very different from the predominantly blue schemes the French usually get. It looks like you are using some sort of brown or tan as the main color? One of the things that could help is a bit of a wash and dry brush before applying the camo...it looks a bit flat as-is.

The Magenta Mk II Vermillion, Queen of the Mediterranean Fleet


Bleached bone as the main color.  And here it is washed

Nice! I think the wash is an improvement. The green glow on the heat weapons is also interesting.
