Found a Rustoleum chrome spray bomb and used it to good effect. Still experimenting.

That is the old Aurora kit I have been using to test out different finishes. It need a new nose and pitot boom, I think I will repair it and spray it chrome and mount it on a stand without markings.

Looks rather like a 1950's Chevy hood ornament. :)

It does. I added a pitot tube and putty today. Tomorrow will I will sand, prime and then apply a full coat of chrome. I still need to design a stand.

Nice desk model, Lou. I'm inspired to try a polished model someday.
