I'm posting this question in the FSX forum as I know a lot of USN types hang out here.
I have converted Milton's Beech D18S to P3D v.4 native and a member here (Gray Eagle) asked me if I could do a couple of repaints for it. My question is regarding the aircraft above. Would that have been a bare metal scheme or would it have been painted silver/grey? I know a lot of RAF aircraft from a similar time period carried silver/grey paint but I need to know before I attempt a PBR texture for it as the process is different for painted textures vs bare metal textures.
The other scheme he asked me to do is easier as it is just an all over white (or cream) and red scheme.
