One problem with the Victory, and that's down to it's authentic colouring being dull. You've painted it beautifully, but it's still a dull colourscheme.
Not insulting your painting, please believe me, just the dull grey colouration of the ship itself.
I am thinking of adding some transfers to the victory to break up the flat look. As for it being grey, I hadn't really considered that, it's actually a WW2 german grey green, on the board it doesn't look so grey especially when compared to a more standard EA black/white grey a. Although it does look just as washed out as it does in the pictures.
As I hope I made plain, it's not an attack on the painting, just the rather dull ship design from the series.
I went a bit radical with mine. As the ship has adaptive armour, I went for more vorlon style mottling over most of the ship to give the effect of more advanced technology. They look cool, although radically different from the series
No worries I wasn't taking it personally. It's a problem with some of the larger ships, It's a pity B5 decals aren't readily available in the UK. I have plenty of decal sheets from Flames of War, 40K and Warhammer and am thinking of trying a few out on my Centauri. Maybe some Tau symbols on the wings, or FOW tank numbers/division badges to break up the monotony
Anything that isn't too recognisable as being from another game system would be usable. Worth putting a little thought into how you use them, as you can use it to number the ships for reference on the table.
I'm sure I herd that you can get decal paper that you can put through a printer and print your own decals. Just can't remember who mentioned it and where.

i had painted some insignias and numbers on my centauri and EA, especialy on my warlocks. you are right with this. with such little details looks nearly every ship fine. and i am an great fan of details.8)
