| Beautiful job David, you have certainly done the kit and the airplane justice! |

| ...all it was at first was a couple wooden sticks and some tissue paper!! Awesome work!
Would you actually fly her? |

| What do you guys use to create the thin black lines that represent the control surfaces and gaps in the covering? I would think maybe a technical pen (Rapidograph, etc.)
Sorry if I ask lots of questions, this hobby is new to me and I am curious... |

| Boy, haven't heard "Rapidograph" in a looong time! A technical pen would work good but might "Hang up" if your surface is at all rough or uneven. Plus waiting for the ink to dry, or not waiting long enough and smearing, is and would be a drag. Some use Sharpie, DD here likes...ummm...Faber Castell?.. there's Gel ink markers. The list goes on. Try them and find out what you like best!
I've used 00 pinstriping brush (very long bristles), markers, and Prismacolor pencils. Experiment and have fun! The lines don't always have to be black! |

| (Rapidograph) Makes me feel kinda old... :o) Have not used one in years, but I just came across a box at work with about 30 0.35 disposable plotter pens plus a whole box of tips with handles etc...thought might be useful for aircraft models. but yeah they probably will snag on the covering... |

| I follow my mentor DD...Faber Castell. Sharpie gum up and stop working. |

| Thanks, it's a hanger queen. To be fair, I learned of the pens from Poppy. I also use a Sharpie now and then but primarily a Top Flite Panel Line pen from Tower Hobbies. The two lines around the front fuselage are made with 1/64" Chartpak tape and the line dividing the center wing from the outer panels is 1/32" Chartpak. |

| Hey jimbo, I used the "Koh-i-noor" brand. He...He... I was trained in the PC epoch (Pre Cad) ;o). |

| The letters on the side should be JFB. Another outstanding build David.... |
