Looking through the last bits of Butterfly goodies in the hope that i can
salvage one more rebuild.

There is one realy nice wing left that was given to me by a good pal:smile:
which is going to be the basis of the next 2A rebuild.

The yellow one is worse than it looks but will remain a relic due to the amount of paint left on it.

The other pair of wings are whats left over from my batch from finland which still have a few blast holes in them and a bit of rust.

OOooooooooo they look interesting Phil.
Try the magic hammerite dip on the yellow wings - it'll get rid of the rust but won't hurt the paint at all, in fact it'll clean any staining off the paint.
I look forward to seeing what you're going to do next.

Will give that a go Dave as i have heard about it more than once which must mean it works.

Phil, compare posts 8 and 28 (before and after) of the following link.

A 24 hours soak followed by gentle brushing with a toothbrush and sympathetic wire wooling (so as not to damage the paint).

how to clean

Actually Phil the best way to clean these items is air travel, you need to send them oversea approx 14,000 km's say prehaps to Australia! apparently the high altitude lossens the rust particals and you just have to wipe it over with a pair of your wife lacy underware and low and behold the rust has magically disappeared or so I've been told! Now in the interests of sience and the advancement of the human race I will volunteer my assistance [and the wifes best undies] to the cause!:tinysmile_shy_t:
No stop that, it's OK No I don't mind doing it that's what friends are for. Yes of corse the wife is on board with this. Once again Mate no problems I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want to help you out.

Just sitting here waiting for the postie

Nice one Phil!

Can see just why your leaving the full set as be, cracking original paint-seldom seen! Can't wait to see the results after Daves formula has worked its magic.

Thanks for sharing and await further development on the SD2A rebuild.

No worries Phil on the paddle
Im on the hunt for more artifacts.

I remember the 'borman' wings i got looked similar to that first set you have?
Its a pity that were wasnt more paint on them as we could have done the 'Dave-Magic-Dip' on them perhaps before a re-paint? Nay mind though as ive been more than pleased with the end results of the resto's.

Interesting stuff which seems to attack the rusty parts only and dosnt discolour the paint:smile:

wing it

Hey Phil, That set of yellow wings is just awesome. I'm not so sure i'd even try to remove the rust as it has that oh so rare mixture of original paint while retaining a relic look. Of course, in the end the choice is yours and i'm sure it will be interesting whichever route you take. Would you please keep us informed as the project progresses as I just love seeing the transformation as it un-folds (pun intended)...Dano

Phil you can have this if its any use - no worries if you don't it'll just stay in the spares box.
There's one bit of damage as shown in the photos but I'm sure you could fix that.
PM me if you want me to post it off to you.

Hey Dano now im all confused:tinysmile_shy_t:

I think we had this debate not to long ago and can definately see both sides of the coin now.
Although Daves dip does seem to get good results i dont know if just a good oil rub will suffice.

Normally i am faced with no original paint so decision made for me,but i might just tinker gently and see what happens.
