2018/19 nut and bolt restoration.

Painstakingly restored according to the original factory specification.

The frame has been blasted, treated and oiled.

The centre section has been completely rebuilt to a very high standard.

The tank has been blasted refurbished and pressure tested.

All wings have been meticulously checked and rebuilt where necessary.

The whole aircraft has been completely recovered with Cecconite, hand stitched and expertly painted in US Navy colours using authentic Butyrate paint completed with authentic US Navy stencil markings.

This is a truly remarkable example that is effectively as it came out of the factory in 1941.
