    I just have a hard time believing it looked that good coming off the assembly line!

    Love the fighter/bomber details.

    I am upset the Wings Over Pittsburgh Airshow is cancelled this year, they always had old planes.

    I think the question on everyones' mind is what shines a .50 cal barrel?

    Eww, looks a little dangerous up so high on that rung.
    Hopefully nobody got hurt.
    Great job to the whole team!
    What products did you use?

    108 pads, 12 buffers (none broken, one backing plate did bite the dust).

    On our last day, day 6, she was pulled outside for some final touch up work.

    The day couldn't have been nicer. Blue skys, temps in the 60s and a brilliant B25 proudly glistening before us!!!

    For awhile it seemed like we weren't getting anywhere. Everything was covered in black, body was hurting, the whine of the buffers was deafining ................ but slowly she gave us some shine, then some more. She was coming back to her former glory.

    I assembled a crew that collectively had over 100 years of polish experience. She would be in good hands.



    Polishing aluminum is dirty work. And polishing upside down and at odd angles is hard on the body. I am proud of my crew as they held tough and did a great job.
