    PRU Blue looks fantastic! I could have sworn the handle was there for something else, but you learn all the time 🙂
    Great progress - sorry that I have been absent lately, but work got in the way.

    Just checked online, and Pledge does not seem to be available in Europe when searching thsir website. I suppose it is "just" some acrylic varnish?

    Closer to the one-tone finished plane - looking great already, going to be awesome with the last bits.

    Thanks Erik, I should have put these bits on the nose before painting, we live and not learn !
