Good job, FTJR.

I found a couple of color shots.  Interesting to see the elevators and ailerons are painted silver, a silver with less blue in it than other areas of the skin.  In fact I think the aircraft in the 2nd photo is all painted, with a replacement panel on the upper left wing?   I think the aircraft just below is bare metal, and the skin takes on a bluish cast, esp. on upper surfaces.   

Does your specular value allow a nice broad glare from the tail when the sun is just right, like in the first photo?  If not, it might be a little low.

Thanks Oboe,
The only thing I can say about the B26, is there is a lot of source photo's and they all seem different in one aspect or another, nice pick up on the Ailerons and elevators, while Im not sure it applies to this bird, I had a look through all the photo's I could find, and there is a predominance of different colours on the ailerons, so i've gone with your suggestion.

Regarding the glare on the tail,  it has something similar in favourable light.

still tweaking.....

Definitely deserved.  If there is information about a skin, you will find it, which helps out the skinner team considerably in making very detailed and accurate skins. :aok :salute
