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

Scratch Built Percival Q6 by bobgood. Viewed 309 times. Build Thread Next Prev Click image to return. Image Comments bobgood 27-Aug-21 14:41 First lower surface now covered in the polyester material. It is strong and dried out wrinkle-free. Took a while but pleased that I can use this covering material - it has been in my model store for about30 years!!!! bobgood 27-Aug-21 14:43 I will cover the upper surface in the morning - let this side completely dry overnight. bobgood 27-Aug-21 14:56 I tried a silk fabric firstly - but it failed to shrink when doped - it looked a hopeless mess. Had to give that up as a bad job! edtherenderman 27-Aug-21 16:54 Nice covering. Do you apply this like tissue? I used a polyester heat activated covering like monokote on several R/C biplanes, and for the sails of a R/C sailboat I scratch built. Never tried fabric covering with dope before. bobgood 27-Aug-21 18:18 Thanks Ed - I pre-doped the wing frame, then applied the material in very small steps, working from the root out the tip. Fingers covered in dope at finish! I then gave the un-doped panels a coat of 50/50 nitrate dope and thinners. I am not sure though, now, what I can apply to get my desired colour for the finished coats. Hmmmm! bsadonkill 27-Aug-21 19:47 Very nice smooth finish. Please sign in to comment on this image.
