Can you list the names of all the people in the above picture that helped you with the project? It's always nice seeing the faces behind the screen names/names.

As far as users here I think that Joe and I are the only ones. I am the one with the beard and yellow shoes, and my wife was the only woman in the group. Joe you all know.
We were blessed with a great group of die hard detailers, ready to assume the hard work and willing to get black with oxidized aluminum.
As for products we were able to use the highest of technology in terms of aluminum polish and pads, some items made just for us. Normally such a job would require up to 7 steps to achieve the depth and shine we got, but thanks to the special products we had we were able to reduce the steps to 3 in most areas.

I don't know about his process, but you could do the same thing with a cyclo and a combination of wool pads, fleecewraps, and Nuvite F7 & S |

Thats my favorite WWII plane!!! I built models of it when I was a kid. Even did the hot needle through the wings and fuselage to mimic bullet holes.
