Default Curare & Aurora - what luck!

Scored a Curare and Aurora locally (I won't antagonize anyone with the low price)
The Curare is in pristine condition and Aurora will have to be recovered or reskined.
Both come with everything installed in it's original state.
Even the retracts are the original MK.
Worth the salvage on the Aurora. Really haven't seen one up close.
The Curare will go to a friend, as I have another to refurbish already.

Just the Curare. Aurora was an Oracover job. Will have to strip and sand it down.

Wonder how any people have actually restored old patterns?

Have another Curare in the same state as the Aurora.
Used packing tape to clear the film but some adhesive and color will need a thinner and sand job.

Will post a pic soon.

Here's the state of another Curare to refurbish. Ok, no comments about the Brazilian Air Force scheme. It's slightly further along now but, the adhesive and color from the coverings are still there. Planning to use a round of thinner and sand it.

I'm cool with Brazil.
Nice to see old Pattern ships being restored.
