Thanks Jimmy, just found this on the web!
Under the new European REACH statute (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), cadmium plating is forbidden except for aircraft and some safety and electrical equipment.
I wonder if I fit front canards my GT40 it would count as an aircraft!
