For an extremely versatile corrosion inhibitor, choose Ardrox® AV 30. Chemetall Ardrox AV 30 corrosion inhibiting compound is a water displacing, tack-free, penetrating waxy film that can be used on all parts of the airframe, including both painted and unpainted surfaces. It requires just a single pass application and boasts the lowest film weight of these types of products.
AV 30 can be applied in a variety of ways, including brushing, dipping or spraying. Spray application is recommended for maximum penetration and optimal corrosion inhibiting. AV 30 can be applied as a spray either with the specially designed ACS System (for airmix application) or AAS System (for airless application). This is your best option if you're looking for an Ardrox AV 30 aerosol. MSDS information is available on this page with important safety guidelines.
I built this kit as a teenager most of 55 years ago. The kit is essentially the same, but now they’re laser cut. In the past, the panels were die-cut, sometimes you get one done with a dull cutter. That took a lot of extra time, carefully re-scoring everything with a narrow Exacto blade so the pieces wouldn’t split. This kit is so crisp, it’s a joy to assemble. It’s fun seeing old reflexes come to life while assembling this baby. I only have the FW-190 from those years, but also built this one (the Hellcat), the Spitfire, Me-109, and the P-40. Good times!
Pilots HQ had the best price on the pump needed to replace the one on my plane that was failing. It actually shipped ahead of schedule, arrived quickly to my IA who was ale to install it and get me back in the air in a timely manner. Great service and price.
