| ....and I wish to paint this Q6 part camouflage and part yellow. |

| I would like any advise from you guys about the best paint to use - spray or tin, and what type & make too. Most of my models have been were finished in self-coloured material. |

| ....actually it's the starboard wing that needs patching up! |

The kitchen project resumes tomorrow so I did a little last min. stuff on Q6. I still need to re-patch the slack panels on port wing - someday..... |

| ...while that is! |

We have a few other projects to see through, so the Q6 is on hold for a wile. |

| Thanks Ed -It's not an easy one for me! Need to sort out those wrinkles in the stbd wing..... |

| It's so cool to see a home designed scratch build come to shape like this! And a very unique aircraft too! |

| Thanks James . I may just replace the slack panels first. I Will only re-cover the whole as a last resort.... Yes the same material from all those years ago. Still a ways to go before the finish line! |

| That looks very good, Dad. I recognize the yellow from the Antoinette! |

| Very nice smooth finish. |

| Thanks Ed - I pre-doped the wing frame, then applied the material in very small steps, working from the root out the tip. Fingers covered in dope at finish! I then gave the un-doped panels a coat of 50/50 nitrate dope and thinners. I am not sure though, now, what I can apply to get my desired colour for the finished coats. Hmmmm! |

| Nice covering. Do you apply this like tissue? I used a polyester heat activated covering like monokote on several R/C biplanes, and for the sails of a R/C sailboat I scratch built. Never tried fabric covering with dope before. |

| I tried a silk fabric firstly - but it failed to shrink when doped - it looked a hopeless mess. Had to give that up as a bad job! |

| I will cover the upper surface in the morning - let this side completely dry overnight. |
| bobgood, Image # 43389 | 27 Aug 21 14:41 |
First lower surface now covered in the polyester material. It is strong and dried out wrinkle-free. Took a while but pleased that I can use this covering material - it has been in my model store for about30 years!!!! |

Back to the Q6 after weeks of kitchen up-grade work. |
