This is what a good friend and great 049 planes and cars collector do with a Cox Helldiver in very bad shape; lots of work and skill.
The "original" plane receive fews coat of paint from the previus owner.
One wing is broken and glue not staight. Wings is from another plane

I gotta say...heck of a job Latole.
From a comic strip character to the real thing.
Beautiful restoration of a classic airplane.

Never would have thought it was the same plane. Looks great.
What did you do to strip the paint off, or did you just go over top? I had a beat up P-51 before that I soaked in brake fluid for a while and it just ate the paint right off.
