Thought the solid mud on your aircraft carrier (as seen on NW rideout) was way cool.
Keep on keepin' on.

Its not difficult to polish the frame, just dirty and time consuming to make a proper job.
The RU has the advantage of having a painted frame that can be stripped with paint stripper first whareas the R models were anodized
