RE: covering scale WW2 warbird with thin aluminum sheeting
Hello Metal, The polished look is what I want. I am modeling a BT-13 thats here in Florida. I really like the color scheme. I will probably end up doing exactly what you said. I will sheet large areas with the .008 sheeting and the compound curves will be dealt with as I have to. It looks like I can form aluminum sheeting for all areas except for the top of the vertical stab and the tips of the wings and horizontal stab. The front of the cowl gets painted red, so I dont need aluminum in that area. The tailcone may be the place I will also use somethignlike flight metal.
