| Coming along nicely David. Have you thought about final colour schemes yet? Will it be lozenge patterned?! |

| Jerry, I think SIG make both types of dope - I have a tin of each on it's way to me right now. |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 6631 | 17 Feb 08 20:33 |
| I'm also using SIG, they make both kinds. I get it at the LHS but you can order it from SIG directly. Typing in NITRATE DOPE to your search engine should help find it and explain the differences. |

| DD what brands are nitrate dope and where do you find it? I use SIG which is Butyrate Dope. |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 6631 | 17 Feb 08 18:36 |
| Nitrate has much better adhesion and sealing characteristics. |

| why the nitrate dope, less shrinkage? My Micro-Mark order should arrive in the next day or two and I'll be able to get to work on the cowl. |

Wingtips and center section are several layers of balsa, sanded and Micro-Fill smeared on and sanded smooth when dry. |

| David, are you going to use Silkspan on the Fokker? When you do the Micro Fil could you do a couple of photos of actrally filling. Also do you use dope to apply the Silkspan of Elmers glue all the way? |

| Dave, hope this is of some use
. A link for a close up of the engine.

| Something new in your build, a WW1 bird....... |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 6607 | 16 Feb 08 10:03 |
| Check the listing. It's been raining and cold for two days and I can't go outside to start the filling and sealing process on the Savage. The balsa fillercoat and sanding sealer are worse than dope so I can't use them inside. So, in the meantime........... |

Waiting for it to warm up so I can attempt a Poppy finish outside cause these are vile smelling things. |
