    1949 T28 aluminum training plane detailed

    I was fortunate enough to help work on this plane this week. I couldn't help the last day had cars todo. I help my friends company Clean Craft Detailing when I have time. I'm a huge fan of any thing military so this plane was a joy to work on and the customer was a great guy. The last picture is one finished side we did last night.

    Was scanning the forum before turning in for the night and read your post and had to login and post...

    Freakin Awesome Dude!!!!!!!!

    I love these old fighter planes and actually like polishing aluminum! I'm so jealous! This is now on my A-List of things to buff out. I love the huge planes Joe, Renny and Anthony are always buffing out but ding-dang, those things are flying fortresses! I want to work on one of these classic aviation hotrods!!!!

    Excellent work and thank you for sharing!

    Great work. That is one hell of an airplane, the plane looks amazing with the work you and your buddy have done to it, I enjoy old planes as we'll but never got the chance to touch one yet. Thanks for posting and sharing. Excellent job again.

    Thanks for sharing. That is one cool detailing job.

    I love to look at old aircraft, especially after a good polishing.

    What did you guys use to do this?

    Thanks Mike This was my first time polishing an all aluminum plane. It was a lot of fun to do and he is getting another one next spring for us to do.

    We used aluminum deoxidizer and purple metal polish.

    Allow me to get technical for a bit. This aircraft isn't a fighter. The "T" in its T28 destination indicates it is a trainer. (F- fighter, B- bomber, and so on) This aircraft is were countless fighter and bomber pilots learned to fly.
