| Remembering how I over sprayed the decal last time, I held the spray can away a bit more. This is the result. I liked the :soft edges from the loose masking. Another lesson learned. |

| Loosely masked over the ribs with paper allowing for the pain to spray under just a bit to help give it a "soft" look. Living in a small apartment doesn't allow room for the convenience of spray guns along with compressors, air tanks, etc. This is where imagination kicks in... I think |

| Another view of the quality of the decal over the covering. |

| Reapplied what was left of the original decal from my first attempt. I was very happy to see the decals also conformed to the rib taping in addition to allowing the delicate weave pattern from the covering to show through. |

| Removed the previous covering . Sanded frame smooth, then recovered. The difference, is that I installed the inspection window on the Solartex while laid on top of a table. This way, I gave it a firm base to glue it in place. The other way, I cut out the Solartex after it was covered. The result was a small hold that "gave away" when pushing down the inspection window frame. Didn't get a consistent adhesive. There were some small gaps. I also decided to lay down some rib tapes and paint over them with Tamiya spray can olive drab. |
