PolyGone™ 530 Gel Stripping Agent is a unique formulation that effectively removes cured polysulfide and silicone RTV sealants from metal, ceramic, and some plastic substrates. Unlike other methods of removal that may cause damage to substrates, PolyGone works at room temperature and does not contain flammable, chlorinated, or odorous solvents. Its chemical reaction with the polymer breaks it down, allowing for easy rinsing without the risk of re-deposition. In fact, PolyGone completely removes 100% of the sealant, making it a preferred choice among aviation MRO organizations and electronics companies worldwide.
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.
