Well, this has been a long journey. I started this build in March 2018. The next month I put the kit on The Shelf Of Doom because I became feed up with the poor engineering of the model. In June, 2019, I decided to finish the kit. It took three months, and a number of sheets of Bare Metal Foil, to finish the kit. The WIP is here: cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/2/t/178237.aspx?page=1
Following are some photos of the finished build.
Your comments and questions are always welcome.

How did you achieve the various shades and finishes? (I've never worked with BMF)

This is the wing of a B-24. The majority of the panels are Matt Aluminum. I noted the panels that are foiled in Chrome. Also, it is easy to make rivets using a rivet wheel.
It would be difficult to achieve this subtle varity of colors using paint.
That’s one to brag about!

On deck: Who knows!
This is my secret tool for appling foil. Just a little does the trick.
Stunning metal finish! Great job! That's one thing I will not be able to do. I'm so clumsy working on my models and I'm sure I will not be be able to apply those foils without folds or wrinkles.
great work!
On the Bench: Too Much
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
You should give foiling a try. I would suggest that your first attempt should be on a P-47. It has very simple shapes.
Thank's everyone!
