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

As seen from my previous post, the vertical tails are nearly exact in overall dimensions

Surprisingly, the vertical tails match perfectly...

The differences become more apparent. Since it's my intentions to both infill and over-plank the fuselage, I decided not to enlarge most of the formers. Instead, the planking and the added thickness with compensate for me (or so the theory goes).

Delving a bit deeper revealed just s slight difference. As will be seen on the next post.

I enlarged a set of 3-views to scale and was surprised to find that Guillow's fuselage matches the 3-views fairly close

Brush on 2 coats of Aerogloss glear and allow 3 days to dry all pinned up to prevent warps.

Even with the old Guillows tissue I was able to apply the tissue wet to the fuselage

Here is a Guillows Mustang I bought on eBay that was already built and just needed covering.  The build was pretty nice, looks like the builder used white glue and everything was nice and straight.  I did some final sanding, no modifications and covered with kit tissue.  This was an old kit since the decals were paper glue on and not the water slide on decals.  I had a kit with water slide decals and used them.  I applied the covering with Elmers glue and coated with 2 coats of Aerogloss dope. The final weight with rubber ready to fly is 20 grams.  I still think the 900 series kits are the best WWII kits out there for beginners who don't want to build a high wing kit.  These would be perfect laser cut kits.  I think my next build is going to be a Guillows 300 series Cessna built out of the box with a fast and easy RC conversion that anyone could do.
