anybody ever come up with this one before? did this on the elevator skins.
i thought this was brilliant! but boy, is it a pain in the arse to do. my fingers hurt, and it is VERY time consuming! i wanted a better way to protect my skins in case i go with one of my paint schemes that will leave the wings and HS polished. i just used the soldering gun to draw little circles around each rivet hole, and peeled 'em off with my fingers. my index and middle fingers are sore tonight.
New idea?

Ha! Well Chad, No... I don't think anyone has ever done that (or at least wanted to share) before!
A combination of polished and painted parts, huh? I LIKE the sounds of that! I am not taking it from you because I don't want that kind of maintenance but, I sure would like to see it!

That's what they make creepers for, laying around under the plane all day. I have a polished Skymaster with AF markings painted on, not too hard to take care of as long as you keep it up. It helps if they're kept inside..........Larry
