avallillo Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Very nice indeed; but, to quibble, it looks like shiny grey metal, not like polished aluminum. I may have to stake out a certain expert witness status here - I have flown polished metal airplanes since 1977, and since 1996 I have polished the darn things, so I know whereof I speak! Polished metal is perhaps the most difficult "look" to achieve in flight simulation. Later improvements in rendering have made it somewhat better, but at a cost - things tend to look like the "chrome" parts of model cars I played with as a youth in the 50's and 60's. Put another way, things look like the silver surfer character in the Marvel movie! This is most certainly not what polished aluminum airplanes look like, possibly excepting a top notch show plane at Oshkosh. So far, the best representations of, say, an American Airlines jet seem to make some use of photos of the real surfaces in the skinning process. What these airplanes do NOT look like is a mirror, with coherent reflections of the surrounding world. Mostly this is because not more than a day out of the polishing shop, they begin to look more and more like an old lawn chair, and airlines jets, at least, are only polished around once a year. Of course, for AA this is all moot since they went to paint. If you could find a way to get the basic color more toward silver than grey, your terrific effort here would probably look more like a natural metal airplane. As it is, the overall hue is just a bit off in most, but not all, of your shots. All in all, though, a really fine piece of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I don't think Jan Kees ever represented his aircraft as "high polished" metal, but merely bare metal. As with all his paints and re-paints, he has done an excellent with this aircraft! JMHO! He has just recently submitted a subsequent post named "MORE METAL" and that aircraft is definitely "high polished metal!" You could probably shave with that finish, for sure! Good job Jan!

jankees Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 thank you, Rick and avallillo! I might add that I am actually quite colorblind, so small nuances like grey or silver tend to escape me. I've also noticed that the weather also plays a big role in the reflectivity and color of a paintjob, more clouds tend t make the aircraft shinier on many occasion. But I'll see what I can do on my next Piaggio project: jk0446 Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here.
