The 80 degree plus weather dries the silkspan quickly outside and these are the final pieces. It will now get several coats of clear nitrate dope before painting.

I put a bead of Testors wood cement around the edges of the wings to seal the covering followed by a light sanding.

When it dries I used 220 wet/dry sandpaper to sand away the excess silkspan. The sanding block is also used for the same purpose. Each side required two pieces.

Outside surrounded by large cardboard boxes from Amazon which contained large canvases.....The entire structure has several coats of nitrate dope on it and is quite smooth enough but I want this one covered. Dip the silkspan in the water, lay it on the towel, wipe it slightly to remove excess water, lay it down, smooth it out, and paint dope all over it. Absolutely guaranteed not to deform the wood! :-)

The fin/rudder needs an application of filler before being glued in place.
