Elbow grease? Looks like you took a flap wheel with a pneumatic grinder powering it! Just noticed all the rivets look like they are gone from it being so shiny. I like it though. Very very shiny. It is a shame that in the real World all of that hard work would not last for long in the elements.

'Stang Evil was my attempt at 'over the top' shine. Experience gained from this scheme led to Super Shiny P-40 and Spitfires. I learned alot about fresnel and env control, and how it applied to metal tone and shine from painting 'Stang Evil, Lucky Lady, Denver Belle..etc

Great looking screenies, though that last one of the polished warbird amongst a ww2 airfield looks a bit interesting :wink:
