| After careful cutting and trimming (and trimming), I cut out the hole and used MicroMark's rivet decals to simulate the opening for the ejected shells. Then painted glossy olive drab for that "factory fresh" look |

| Like previous covers, I'm using medium thick glossy paper. The glossy surface is smooth and does not exhibit any signs of fibers normally seen on paper. I can use either glossy paint, or flat to suit my tastes. |

| Added a second means of support for the cover. I decided to simply attach the rear portion of the covering directly to the fuselage at the joint. Just like the real aircraft. |

| I should point out that after the tape was carefully measured and cut out to suite both the plastic glass and square hole, that it was first painted olive drab before applying to the fuselage. This is the end result, after the use of MicroMark's rivet decals. |
