I'm going to be modeling the rebellion era, so I'm going for lots of wear, paint chipping and general weathering.
The problem I have is if the light gray paint is chipped, what color is the bare skin underneath?
I'm leaning towards a composite material skin, and maybe it is different materials for different areas areas of the skin, depending on the heat and stresses that area might be expected to experience in flight.
So that it mind, and looking at the pics of the various studio models I can find, I think I'm going to go with various shades of gray, and maybe tan underneath the paint.
Unless anyone has a persuasive argument against that...
I'm going to have to dig up some photos of modern jet fighter aircraft under construction in the factory for ideas.
