C'mon, Rog... after all that nice work, you can find a better 6. :(

Very nice Rogerdee!    Any chance you can decrease the opacity of the white areas a bit?   Maybe its just the screenshot, but for me, the white areas lose all detail - panel lines, rivets, etc.   There doesn't appear to be any structure of the aircraft showing through.

Another thought, the white areas would show dirt and weathering even more readily than the desert brown, perhaps some dirt/grime on these areas would help.

Well lookit that - I don't see a bit of detail in the RL photo of the white wing tips either!

Sorry to have mentioned it RD; but comparing to Furball's pic it looked closer the other way...
