Everything covered. The elevators, ailerons, and rudder are covered with the paper supplied according to the plans. It's a standard part of a Guillow kit but if you have the time add the extra rib-lets and cover with silkspan. It is the only are on the pl

The clear pieces are glued on with Testors wood cement and the areas to be painted are painted once just to seal the mask. Using wood glue allows you to do it quickly and easily and you can seal the edges where the plastic meets the covering with your fin

The clear parts have beecovered with a mask and the brand name is Parma. You paint four coats of it onto the CLEAN pieces allowing each coat to dry very thoroughly before applying the next one. It goes on milky and dies to the haze you see here on the rea

For these I fill the halves of the plastic piece with filler along with the wire and fill the other half with filler and let them very thoroughly dry. It's best to remove any excess filler as you do this but it can be sanded away when it's dry. When each

In the mornings over coffee, and after the cats are fed, I'll spend that time looking at it all and trying to see if there's anything I forgot to do.

Lay it on damp and it will naturally do this. All you have to do is dope it top and bottom. In this particular case I had to cut a slit it the area where the curve is the greatest and starts outward . Otherwise all I had to do was wait for it to dry and t

Works this way, too. The plans say to cover part of the base of the fin with tissue and cover the front part of it with two plastic pieces. Later you glue the top portion of the fin to the stabilizer and that entire structure is the glued to the base on t

On the right you can see the extra stringers and lightweight filler combined at the place where the plastic piece meets the wood and on the left you can see why you do it. It doesn't look possible but one piece covers the first section. The secret is to p

Covering the fuselage starting at the front and covering as much of the plastic piece as I can with silkspan and then doping it on. There are 2 pieces here, the first is from the plastic to F 2 and the second piece is between F 2 and F 3. Also here for th
