It's not hard to see why. Almost the entire aircraft is built with metallic silver parts. Towards the end of WW-II the USAAF had a lot of aircraft that were left in natural metal finish, and the silver is a wonderful representation of this colour scheme. At a first glance, certainly from the angle seen in the picture above, it looks stunning.
My hat is off to Alex for giving this a try. Considering the limited selection of parts in this colour he had to pull out all the stops to get even close to the shape. Unfortunately, when seen from a lower angle it seems clear that what he was going for isn't (yet) possible, even for a man of his talent.
Can't belive it! That must have taken him WEEKS, and WEEKS, and WEEKS!
