He mentioned ... "this P40 I am working on is white #7"

I saw that part.  Just wondering where INK came across a combat P40E in bare metal.  White 7 was Robert Scott's bird but that was OD/Gray.  No complaint about INK's work at all, just didn't want him going all out on a NMF P40E if it wasn't a combat bird :)

ya I am just practicing getting down the metal texture's I do have a bare metal P40 I will hopefully get to do, its an N though.

I started a bare metal 51..with the shark teeth. so I figure I started the P 40 first might as well try to get this metal down first so I have spent a LOT of time on this layer.....just in this P40's metal texture I have maybe 35 hours  :rofl that is mostly trying it different ways,  and painting each panel separately, I figure now that I know what works for me Ill be able to do a metal skin with rivets and panel lines...in about 4 hours  :pray

That is a bare metal finish that I can live with. It has a fair balance of panel lines and rivet opacity and weathering/stressing. I think you did a great job. Now lets see you apply these things you learned onto other bare metal aircraft. :cheers:

Ink, try playing with the material file to add some specularity.  It will make the metal reflect more light.  Obviously weathered aluminum is not mirrored, but it still reflects a decent amount of light.  Look at some of Greebo's P-47s or Fester's P-51s to get a good yardstick.  Looking good though.  I'd still dial back the opacity of the panel lines and some of the shading--my preference obviously.
