The distiction is probably moot, except that those who get a mental picture of a wax as something that one rubs on or into something and buffs will be somewhat surprised to find that Future is actually an acrylic paint. Incidentally, most of us know that it's sold by Johnsons under a bunch of different names (Kleer, Super Stride, Super Shine, etc.) but you may be interested to know that the Australian version (now Super Shine) is *milky* and looks exactly the same as Aeromaster acrylic gloss. Johnsons in Oz say "Yes, same stuff" and it does have the same properties as Future but surely it *must* be different in some way other than colour !

It is very possible according to the Smithsonian that I have a Propeller from the Signal Corps dated between 1914-1919.

If this is so, can you tell me what it is that I have and what kind of plane it was used on.

I have used BMF, and the Detail Master equivalent, Krome Foil, extensively. It can be really good for doing bare metal panels, and as there is a matte foil too, you can get some interesting varigations. Also, I use different grades of polishing cloth on different sheets of it to get subtly-varies effects between shades of metal. I do not recomend it for cowlings, because you will inevitably get wrinkles in it going around the complex curves of the front of the cowling. But play around with it. I tried the overly-ambitious project of covering an entire 1/48 B-29 Superfortress. I'm taking it all off and replacing it with paint. Much easier to deal with.

Here's a tip: take a small funnel, and glue a piece of fine screen in it - strain your Future. It can also be used to strain paints, but I'd make a different one for that purpose. Helps remove any Future that is trying to cure, and eliminates any contaminants. Mixes it up a bit too.

Its about 20 miles north of Hartford. They usually have some WWI items on display, but I haven't been up that way in over a year, so I'm not sure whats currently there. The only other place I can recall in that area is Battleship Cove in Massachusetts, but I don't believe that WWI is in their charter. The Owl's Head Transportation Museum is way up in Maine and probably outside your range, but is the most heavily oriented toward early aviation. They have quite a few WWI aircraft, some of which are actually original.

There doesn't seem to be any e-mail address but the phone is 914-473-3679. (That 914 code is scheduled to change shortly, though) His publication seems to be the principal hangout for builders and restorers of real WWI airplanes. These are the folks who would be best able to identify original parts and part numbers.
