Almost done, still working on the small details. Cant wait to fly my bird. I have not had much luck with Guillow decals so I made my own.

Lucky Guillow kits don't fly high, I might not see this bird against the blue sky.

Like my Bird? Still have to add fillets.

For some reason I really wanted a Yellow nose. With the red spinner looks like a clown. I used Brown tissue for the canopy detail glued on with white glue.

Thanks scigs. I'll have to try that next time.

The top of each panel is two pieces. The wing tip is covered separately.
jgood, Comment for image # 694006 Mar 08 14:16

Perfet covering.
scigs30, Comment for image # 694006 Mar 08 11:38
It was covered in 4 pieces.
jgood, Comment for image # 694006 Mar 08 06:41
Is that one piece on the top of the wing? I haven't done one yet without a crinkle in the tips!

Everything is covered and shrunk, now I will apply 2 coats of dope.

I use 50/50 Elmers and Water. Secret to clean lines is to have straight stringers. I also use fresh scalpel blades to trim the tissue, for a build of this size I will use 2 blades without the handle.

Brown has been added now I will shrink the tissue and apply two coats of dope.

That's amazing. So neat! How was this applied?
supercub, Comment for image # 694005 Mar 08 22:45
Wow, how did you get the trim lines so clean?
Skip, Comment for image # 694005 Mar 08 22:10
Marvelous covering job. Trim lines are extremely clean. Good work.

Tan and Blue are done, now I have to apply the Dark Brown then I will shrink all surfaces.

The Domestic Aqua Blue is on nice and tight, next is the Tan. Domestic tissue does not shrink as tight as Esaki so I am able to apply tight without warping.
