Glowplug: Plane is looking good. Looks like you polished the landing gear too. I think it really makes the plane stand out. I bought an attachment to my bench grider for a polishing wheel. Though Id try it out to see if i can get the fine scratches that I could see. After using the steps of compounds.. WOW!!!! It looks like its just been chrome plated.
Im also living in the same boat as you. This freaking snow wont leave me alone. its beginning to annoy me. Last week mother nature thinks it would be great to dump 6 inches of snow on us. A couple days later as the snow is beginning to melt. Hey guess what we get another 4 inches. Ill tell you our flying fieild is looking like a big giant mud hole.

Well March 2nd was my b-day.. YEAH!!!! not......
Wake up in the morning and a huge box was on my table, a hanger 9 p51 miss america... I thought my G/F didn't like my planes.
