[Drake] T4XB face plate deterioration

[Ron Wagner]

I looked at my T4XB last night, and gasp as I noticed what I think is 
aluminum deterioration from oxidation.  It has some very find "lines" of 
what looks like the "white rust" that old aluminum gets.  I hope some one 
understands what I am talking about.  The pitting groves that grow in old 
aluminum.

What can I do to stop the progression of this?  I am guessing some type of 
sealing, like wax, or something.  I have seen this often on older Knight 
kits, but this is the first time I have ever seen anything like this on a 
Drake.  It is around the very outer edge of the faceplate.

73,
Ron
