Starting to look like an Albatros. Upper wing will be added after painting. |

| A very fitting paint job for your plane. |

Here's the wood we're talking about. I will probably use this plane for my paint scheme. |

| The simulated wood covering will be the perfect compliment to this great looking build. |

| I am betting you can do it. This is looking really good! |

| Yes, part of the fuselage is typically left unpainted in the pictures that I have seen. It should be quite fun to paint a wood texture onto silkspan. |

| Perfect covering! Are you going to simulate the wood covering with acrylics? |
| SteveM, Image # 5161 | 28 Nov 07 12:34 |
Fuselage covered with 00 silkspan. Silkspan continues to amaze me with how easy it is to work with and is fairly forgiving. |

Like Barnstormer said, very little detail to be added. Of course now I need to add that map. |

| Marvelous, as Fernando would say, just marvelous!! |

| This looks great, only so much detail you can put in an Albatros cockpit. Great job. |

I have a long way to go to catch up to poppy and moostang. :-) |

Added some cockpit detail, sorry for the blur. |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 5117 | 20 Nov 07 17:36 |
| Very nice indeed! To clarify, this David uses dope to attach the silkspan to the frame and the 50/50 glue mixture to seal the frame prior to that. |

Putting together some cockpit details. Paint and gages come next. |
| SteveM, Comment for image # 5117 | 19 Nov 07 16:15 |
| I used dope for this one, I forget why I decided to use dope rather than try Dave's 50/50 white glue method. I guess part of it was wanting to cover with dry tissue so I wouldn't get any warping. |

| Nice covering. Did you use dope or 50/50 white glue? |
| SteveM, Comment for image # 5117 | 19 Nov 07 13:28 |
| Actually, it appears that 00 is lighter than 000. |
| SteveM, Comment for image # 5117 | 19 Nov 07 13:11 |
| That silkspan is some amazing stuff, the wings wouldn't have come out so nicely with typical kit tissue. I think I could even have gone with 000 considering how strong this 00 is. |

| Perfect cover job. Well done! |
