I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

The tissue went on the fuselage, more or less, as intended. Since the real airplane that inspired this had (It was written off in a "hard landing" in 2014.) a bare aluminum fuselage I will spray the fuselage with gloss sliver floral spray.

Now I'm one of those showoffs that likes to wet cover half of a curved fuselage with one piece of tissue. Not easy to do with this one because the landing gear wires are sticking out and the cabin sticks up in the middle. I decided to cover with four pieces, the bottom between the landing gear legs, the sides to the center line and the top of the cabin.

The tops of the wings are also covered with one piece of tissue each, and advantage of covering wet. In this picture the parts are dry and trimmed but the Krylon has not been sprayed on.

I cover the bottoms of the wings first, being careful to use glue on the strut pockets where I will cut the tissue to insert the struts when the model is assembled

Sometimes I have to take a break from designing my own models so I got back to the Cessna 150. Nice thing about a Guillow's kit is that you have a structure strong enough to cover wet. I cover one side, let it dry, trim with sandpaper and cover the other side
