Very nice! I don't get to do it often but a glossy finish is challenging to complete but rewarding once it's done.

and with my Academy F-16A Thunderbird
Carlos, your Hornet is stunning. Your gloss coat looks like it's still wet! Love the photographs juxtaposing it with the Thunderbird and the "Fleet" hornet -- great context! A job well done for la familia!

Thank you Chris. I like doing those pairing photos for some comparison of a subjects lineage, service, or some other theme.
