The current dull, navy gray paint, although practical for combat aircraft, doesn't provide interesting reflections and shading. So, I mixed my own batch of the old epoxy paint we used to use. I think I got it right. I still haven't gotten the hang of applying marking textures so the planes are unmarked. I also had to set my light angles correctly and tint the canopies to hide the fact that there aren't any pilots!
