Default RE: covering scale WW2 warbird with thin aluminum sheeting

Hello Chad, I purchased a sample of Flight Metal. In my opinion it didnt look like aluminum when I placed it next to a piece of polished sheet aluminum. Its closer than paint, but does not have the same look. Actually, I am not sure flight metal is aluminum. I am going out and try using metal polish on it, that should tell me for sure. I think I would have better luck on making alumim sheet into a fillet than the flight metal. Can you tell me about your experiences with Flight Metal? I would like to learn all I can about its use, resistance to damage and ability to contour to compound curves.
Thanks, Denny
