Father / son build after languishing for ~ 16 years. My son had received on 10th birthday, painted interior zinc chromate and did a little interior assembly before placing it in inviolate stroage. So, after reading "A Higher Call" by Adam Makos, he unearthed it at Christmas and decided he wanted to finish it. We tried to experiment with natural metal Rub'n Buff, but he settled on Krylon Premium Metallic chrome spray paint. Voila!
