Looking pretty good Don.You got a water separator on the tank?I think that may be the frosting on the bottom.You can buy scotchbite pads like in 1000 grit and polish the plane before the gloss black then pad it down again before the silver then I hightack the plane.I tried a semi damp cloth/paper towel but it left specks on the kit.I went 3/4 times with the silver on the P-47 before I was satisfied and using 1500-2000 grit before I was content.I have done a few NMF and their is a learning curve but you are doing good.
