My next flight brought the bare-nekkid C-47 out of the hangar.

Anybody who's seen some of my other paints has probably figured out that I'm a sucker for polished aluminum, and I'm always working to perfect the look to my satisfaction.

Image

I smile at myself when I compare my earliest efforts with my latest attempts. Incremental improvements.

Image

It's not fundamentally difficult, but it's difficult to do well. I'm not yet there, but I think I'm getting ever closer.

Image

I'm getting to the point where the reflection is good enough to shave in. :-)

Ab-so-LUTE-ly!!!

From my Air Force daze:
Q: How do you clean the wings on a C-47?
A: Four Airmen and a can of Nev-R-Dull.
