Lots of progress. Got the wheels pinned on for looks. Everything is glued and bottom fuselage is under construction. |

| Good idea to avoid toxics, I decided to risk using a little CA last night and today I was rewarded with a runny nose. Your tissue covering is impressive and I look forward to seeing it complete. |

| I'm using the white glue method. I built the whole plane with white glue. I try to stay non-toxic. |

| well done Evan. Your build quality has improved so much. I'm jealous of finish you got on your wings. Keep it up! |

| Excellent, can hardly wait to see it completed. |

| Evan its looking great, the tissue covering looks very good. Are you using the white glue or the clear dope method? |

The fuselage covering isn't as hard as I thought it would be. |
| EvanJ, Image # 9660 | 25 Oct 08 09:54 |
Fuselage covering is going well. |

| Hey Evan, John O. will get you some good decals, and it looks like wingspanner has the rest of the Flying Tigers insignia. Thanks for the complements on my P-40, I have to give credit to poppy, I learned so much from his P-40 build and others like John O. and David Duckett. |

| Looking great Evan. I have a P40 in amongst my models which i am hoping to build. I am going to base it on the Flying Tigers who fought for China against the japanese towards the end of the war. I'll post the insignia that they had on their planes if your interested |

| John, how should I get you my address? |

| You know Barnstormer, your P-40 is a masterpiece, so I don't see the need for improvement! |
| EvanJ, Comment for image # 9320 | 12 Sep 08 20:42 |
| That would be great! Do you need any money for postage? I didn't want to paint the nose for weight conservation. I think I've mastered tissue covering. I went rib by rib on the wing. I used the White Glue/Water mix, and for each rib section first applied the trailing edge of the tissue and let it sit for about 15 seconds, then applied the rest slowly, pulling a little to the side if it needed it, then I pulled the nose of it forward and down to keep the rounded shape of the ribs. It took more time, but it helped keep it smooth. |

| Let me know that is! |

| Nice work, elt me know if you need shark decals for the nose. |
| Barnstormer, Comment for image # 9320 | 12 Sep 08 19:09 |
| Wow!! Evan very nice job with the covering, I still don't have the tissue covering process figured out. |
| EvanJ, Image # 9320 | 12 Sep 08 18:57 |
I am very pleased with my wing! It's a big improvement over my first plane! |
| EvanJ, Image # 9319 | 12 Sep 08 18:56 |
My wing! |

I cannabilized a little electric engine from another FF plane. |
