Now the planes look realistic for the sunlight we have in game. If you have custom skins made, yes, they will look very different to what you are used to seeing, but that doesn't make it unrealistic.

The shine is really representative of all those pilot accounts we've read about.

So I wouldn't call them terribly shiny at all. I'd call it pretty close to reality and what sunlight does to a metal surface. If you need more examples of WWII pictures with shine, let me know.
Oh, and you might want to take a look at your own signature
