Wow. Looks like a carved aluminium block. Nice work.

Rustoleum metallic silver does a pretty good job. However, it needs a very smooth finish to apply it to otherwise every imperfection shows through. A dark back ground works best. I my case, red.

Roll out 19 May 2022. This is the first aircraft I was allowed to work on during my tech training in the fall of 1966.  The aircraft would have worn this scheme except perhaps the rounders and tail flash could have been the new one adopted in 1965, however I can't remember for sure. I do know this serial number was a training airframe in the Tech Training School in Borden while I studies there.
