SD 2 wings

[SG500]

I always like a challenge so when I got these it was just that, a challenge!
First the wings got dipped to get rid of the rust.
Then they got bent into shape - as far as I dared without snapping them.
Then a spare end paddle got put on using original components from a scrap set that was in even worse condition than this.
Finally it was wire brushed.
I'm sure the purists would like it as it was but it'll do me.

Great sympathetic restoration Dave.

I do admit to being a 'purist' as Dave describes, I do like to see these 'as discovered' and think they tell there own story - a moment captured in time, if you like. However, as waff has already said you have managed to prevent further deteriation in the wings and have been sympathetic in your restoration, which can only be good. What is more you have a record of the wings as they looked before restoration - this to me enhances the finished article as it shows just how sympathetic you have been. I think the finished article speaks for itself - well done Dave.
