M34 Alu made BXF

[meyle77]

Here is a M34 made by BXF, I picked up few weeks ago. It was overpainted white for post-war use. I removed the white paint and cleaned it up a bit. Found the liner to be nicely marked with makers info - Herman Schellhorn - company made fire dept. related headgear etc.

Here is the before:

Here is after the removal of paint - pre-repaint damage to the black paint is evident.

You've done a fine job of removing the over paint, well done, a restoration. Leon.

Thanks - i used brake fluid on the outside with an old credit card and hobby razor on the inside - 3 hours of fun :-)
I am happy with the end result and it looks good on the shelf.
