Mark99 | 08-Jul-07 09:56 | Poppy i am really enjoying your build pictures. I have a question about your Hellcat. What did you use to cover the 1/32 balsa covering? |
poppy | 08-Jul-07 10:22 | Only balsa filler, micro ballon fill, and primer. Used to cover with silkspan but grain would still show. after light sand of filler and 2 coats of primer the shell is hardened and can take a bit tougher sand w/220 grit. Some additional fill is needed then recoat w/primer. After wings, Rudder and stabs are fit another couple of coats of primer are added, sanding between. My wife says gives a surface "as smooth as a baby's behind". Nuff said. |
