More than I care to remember! That was a ten year project, from piece of junk that was sitting in the bush at the side of a runway to pristine static display piece.
As for the P 51, I'll leave her the way she is. They came from the factory with painted wings and that was my goal, to make her look like a factory finish. The wings were actually filled and sanded at the factory in order to get the laminar flow perfect, so they were painted silver. I used pictures of Lil Margaret for reference. When I drove past Danville, all I could think of was that Lil Margaret was here somewhere, I'd love to see her.
