Thanks Alan (will look for that episode of twilight) and Joe.

In the meanwhile I've been so lucky to find a picture of the original plane taken at Ramitelli.

Looks superb in the pics francesco , i love it. I think a satin final finish overall should be fine for both the natural metal and painted areas , cheers tony
