Hi,
Just wanted to post a couple of photos of my single-ply RK after a complete strip down and rebuild. All parts have been cleaned and the shell stripped and polished. While the Duco shell is somewhat chipped in places, the parts that are in tact have come up really nicely. I always think its interesting to see the parts of the shell have have been covered, such as under lugs etc. where the colour hasn't faded and you get to see the original vitality of the paint. In this case, those parts are a beautiful deep blue.
I confess that there was a moment during the clean up that I thought about stripping all of the paint off and leaving the shell natural maple. The few examples that I've seen on here look really good but I decided that I wanted to keep it original. Glad now that I did and hope you like it as much as I do!
