    Awesome work. You must have been a Tomcat wrench. You got the greasy, grimy, oily, nasty that comes from being deployment on a carrier the planes are always black exhausting each other too. I remember getting of duty and hit the showers after a 12 hours of flight ops and every crevice and crease on my body had black soot in it. I'm building the F-4B Sundownwers equivalent of this right now, thanks for the faux grime tips. F-4's were hydraulic sprinklers. I'm gunna needs some big red streaks down the belly.
