The only reason that aircraft are referred to as having a skin is that they're literally covered with a metal skin.
Actually, the skin isn't always metal. Back in the day, it was usually laminated wood. And while aluminum alloy skins are the most common nowadays, there are many other skin materials: titanium, Inconel-X (a chrome-nickel alloy used on the X-15 because of its strength at high temperatures), carbon/epoxy, and fiberglass (which happens to be radio-transparent), to name a few. And composites are stronger, lighter, and more durable than aluminum, so it's only a matter of time before metal-skinned aircraft are obsolete.

3D models aren't covered with anything. They have no skin.
I thought 3D models were covered with a "texture".... isn't a "texture" something?
