Manual work is time-consuming, this also applies to the Aero C 104
Reconstruction, but also repair of historic aircraft is a time and money consuming operation. Although we work really intensively on the Aero C 104.237, every day with four people, sometimes even five, there are some jobs that simply cannot be sped up. One of them is painting tactical codes and emblems. In 1947, these markings were painted with a brush, by hand. It was a job for a letterer. The problem is that if we spray painted the tactical number and the insignia, as is commonly done today, you wouldn’t see the brush strokes. So, we’re doing it the old-fashioned way.
