I usually start by drawing the outline of the aircraft, just the basic shape.
Then on another layer I add the basic colour scheme
Then using mainly the lighten/darken tool in PSP8 I add shadows and highlights on a third layer over the basic scheme. Airliners.net comes in handy for checking how light reflects of the various different surfaces.
Finer details like aerials and gear are added last.
The Vampire still needs a few fine details adding.
Hope this helps a little!

I think probably the most skilful bit is getting the base lines right and even then being able to see in the mind what the finished job will be like
But with out the correct base it won't work.
It is a gift to be able to do that to the standard shown here
