Well, back home now and I have all the bits and pieces I think.
The tube finish looks bloody fantastic. Job well done mate, exceeding all my expectations.
All the other bits are terrific as well.
I was told not to touch it for another 2 weeks until it cures and hardens so now I can only look at it and drool.
By then I should have collected all the other pieces of the puzzle, tak collimation tools, reducers, tubes and adapters.

another frog who has a CN-212, 98 model and we're exchanging photos and information. And he has the same kind of avatar as me.

Who would have thought!
To recap. Michelangelewis knows his sh|t and did a terrific job on the paint and resto. Fully endorse him. If you've got any thing to fix send it his way.
