1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted May 16, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I guess I wont be too picky when I start skinnining I thought hair greese was unavailible durring the war? check out his hair Hair grease was indeed in short supply, but working on the flight line he found the wheel bearing grease used by the spits was a good substitute. It also served as a functional replacement for his tin hat. Need an acetylene torch to effect a short back and sides though...ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
