Really interesting metal textures, bare but not polished.
Speaking of which, JK: do you actually draw the nose art?

It depends, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
In this case, where it is a modern-day warbird, there are lots of detailed pictures of the noseart available, and I have used those, so the noseart you see is the actual noseart that is on the real plane, with a few minor adjustments.
