Good to see the pilots in the cockpit Chris.
Well done.

Yes I had to file their helmets down a bit for them to fit; at least that won't be apparent when finished.

Some polishing underway. The port roof window has been sanded with emery paper about 1000 grit. The starboard roof window had been sanded with the same then polished with microfine Yorkshire Grit. More work to do.

Final polish done with Turtle Wax polish.
Ready for masking now.

First shade of grey on.

Does Turtle Wax give the same finish as a coat of Klear after sanding?

No idea if it gives the same effect. The polishing gives a good shine but there is no residue - the Turtle wax is a very fine abraisive. I think the floor polish leaves a thin coat on the surface - correct me if I'm wrong.
