Whatever you do, don't put varnish on them.

IIRC the Smithsonian uses a special microcristalline wax on the airplanes that seals the metal from the atmosphere. I highly recommend Robert Mikesh's book "Restoring Museum Aircraft."
You may also contact the Udvar Hazy team directly if a good internet search doesn't turn anything up.
I'm sure everyone here would be interested in what you find out so please check back and share.
