@@rcbuggies57 it can be anything from nearly-white to golden and red depending on alloy

[@rcbuggies57]

@@Nworthholf very true, and my mistake, since the statue of liberty is pure copper it'd probably polish out to be a very pure copper color. But most brasses with a decent zinc content will be very close to the color of a white gold ring immediately after polishing, but oxidation brings it back to yellow tones extremely quickly.

I'd like to think it wasn't your great editing skills, but I could see/feel that there was a sense of passion that exuded from each of you. While I doubt that my hobby/part-time side-job journey will allow an opportunity as grand as this, nonetheless, I wholly appreciate the time you take to put forth videos like this, outside the normal scope of detailing cars. Thank you Larry.

[@christschool]

I used to detail planes during the 1980's as a teen. There are several issues involved with detailing a Jet. One of the biggest difference is dealing with the rivets so you don't strip the paint off of them. You did a great job on this plane. This must have been a real trophy for your business advertisement.

does this plane actually fly, or will ever be restored to flying condition

[@jacobjohnson4763]

Typically these aircraft are no longer certified to fly after a few years out of service. Assuming the engines are good, it certainly could be readied for flight but for the purpose of a museum it would be risky to fly it and the cost would be better spent restoring other aircraft.

[@dadillen5902]

@@user-or1uo4ct9r You are correct, while the mesh used on static display aircraft will keep out nesting birds, wind blown debris and the things that stupid human may through. At takeoff speeds and higher even a small "soft" object like a bird would punch through the mesh and could cause the part of the mesh to detach and enter the engine, not good. That is the reason there are no protective devices on aircraft. At speeds above 100 mph the weight and restriction of a device capable of providing any real protection would be operationally unacceptable. Believe it or not it is easier and more effective the build engines capable of surviving all but the worse foreign object damage (FOD).
