Brasso is great for rubbing out scratches in plastic and Easy-Off oven
cleaner does work as a paint remover.  I've used it successfully on a couple
of n-scale engines (I'm also a model railroader.> I have to try it on a
rudder and tailplane off of a DML DVIII that I botched, but I'm pretty sure
it will work.

Lastly, I seem to remember, way back in the late sixties/early seventies that
you could use draino to remove chrome plating from model car parts. Never
tried it and I believe there is a much safer method today, again I just can't
recall what it is.

Fine day. Flying quite a lot in a.m. Did 2 excellent flights. Review 
Presentation of medals to five officers in later part of p.m. Big affair and 
lots of people on hand to look on Liberty until midnight. Went into Buc with 
fellows in evening and got pretty full! Quite a party with some of the 
instructors and champagne flowed freely and happily. Its 17 months since I left 
N.Y.
