Still not happy with the tone of the blue and also the metal shine. Think the Alpha and specs needs some tweaking.

Now off to the "oliebollen" en "appelflappen".

Have a safe ending of the year all and best wished for the new year!

Well here is a good example of a shiny aeroplane (LOL)

It just struck me looking at the textures on the Connie, how the engines and wings are good but the fuselage can have more of grey tone than chrome. As for me well I am no expert but I do love a well polished aluminium aeroplane. Note sure why they painted the HARS Connie grey on the lower fuselage and engine cowls. Anyway I will hand over to the experts.

Most of it was ease of maintenance course the washing down for performance and to stop the skin from anodizing save on skin replacement, with a shinny skin and a brand new aircraft was also customer appeal for the first few years then on overhaul scored the paint.
 
Hiya,

Almost finished, only some little tweaking to do and writing the readme etc.
