Thanks for the input I think I have a method sorted out.
Here is the beginnings of the nose and right nacelle.
I have redone the nose and nacelle paint and panel line layers and added a small bump to the panel lines.
I will finish the paint and panel line layers on the whole model then come back and add diffuse panel colors, grim, and distress layers. I went overboard with the grim on the previous version, plus the texture map was to small. I bumped the size up to 4k.
