Not bad for a first effort. But, like the others said, your bare metal effect is way over stated. The reflectivity and brightness need to be turned way down. I'd also adjust the contrast of your darker panels: a more subtle change in color and darkness will give a better appearance. I suggest looking at some of the better bare metal skins are done by other skinners, particularly Greebo, Fester, and Cactus. Get an idea of how they do their basic metal work, view their skins in the film viewer with max resolution, but with shadows and other add on updates turned off. There are excellent color photos for reference as to how the color and finish of this aircraft. I would keep making adjustments to your skin until the skin reflects the appearance of the real plane, which at the moment it does not. I see potential for a great skin, but if this is the final product, it is not even mediocre in my book.
