Monogram T-28A...

I'm making a little headway on my T-28 projects. The T-28A has finally moved into paint. It is painted Alclad Duraluminum over MM flat black. The duraluminum isn't as good as I expected. Maybe I shoulda used a gloss black instead. I haven't painted with Alclad in about a year. I want to shoot a protective coat of Pledge over the duraluminum because when I painted the LT-6G back then, handling the airplane rubbed paint off the leading and trailing edges if the wings. Don't want that to happen to this T-28. The finished airplane will be early 1950s Air Force with minimal colorful markings.

Any suggestions and/or comments are welcome and appreciated.
