| I agree with the wonderfrog, VERY nice covering job, could not look any better if you sent it out to be done |

| Left half of the windscreen installed. I used thin strips of paper for the framing installed wet. I'll also mask off the windows and spray the framing. |

| Had to make a new part K3 as the kit part was badly die crushed and deformed. I also re-covered the fuselage. Still has some glitches but I need to move forward with this project. |

| Still having a lot of problems with covering using the kit tissue. Too much sag so I decided to re-cover. Oh well. |

| PB Thanks to you I am very familiar with this process. The finish is comming along nicely. I am about to spray my Mig with its third coat after reined blending. |

| Looks really good PB. |

| A couple of light misting coats later, I still have more blending to do but there is a marked improvement. |

| A couple of light misting coats with silver florist's spray revealed a lot of blemishes and imperfections. I tried using the HobbyLite filler but I kept getting inconsistent curing. I had to resort to thinly applied spot putty. |

| Hi hjlittman - The comment I made was simply out of frustration as a consumer (two of the same kits with extremely poor quality die cutting wise) and not intended as an insult to Guillows. I happen to like Guillow's because of their relatively scale subjects and their kits are a good value. I'm certainly glad that Guillows is taking steps to improve their quality given the distinct possibility of a Asian (China, Korea,etc.)company breaking into the domestic balsa plane kit market with better quality die cutting or laser cut and superior wood is very real. And while I think the young lady has a challenging but a "dream" job nonetheless, I have no intention of taking her job away ;) Besides, she probably has better skills than I have especially covering with tissue (lol). |
