| There are two Guillows groups on Facebook, both of which are maniacally controlled so that only Guillows kits are allowed. If that’s your thing, go for it. It’s like being hungry in a dense forest, too blind to see the 24 hour Waffle House next door. |

| I'm not on the FB group. Not a fan of FaceBook. Don't know about others on the forum. They may be. |

| Thanks. This is my first build with a dihedral, and I want to make sure I don't screw up the wing. Are you on the Guillow's Model Airplans FB group? |

| @bryanalter, I've always put the tissue on first, then assembled the model. Sometimes I like to put the plastic pieces on first and overlap the tissue slightly over the plastic to give a "one-piece" look. It depends on the part though. Wing fillets are done after assembly. There are others on the site who have different techniques though. |

| You applied the paper AFTER assembly of the components? I'm only on my second plane and still figuring this all out. |

| No - get my flying in with RC electric foam scale planes. Enjoyed the great pics of your P-40s in flight. |

| Dale, Have you ever flown any of your models? |

| scigs - Tissue application - Two to three coats of clear dope to framework, let dry. Lay tissue over frame. Stroke areas of framework with small brush dipped in acetone. Immediate adhesion. Repossioning is possible by restroking with acetone. Because of the acetone, I don't recommend this method, but it works for me. I wear a respirator when doing this. |

| scigs - I haven't sent photos to Guillows, since I modify their construction by doubling ribs and stringers. The B-29 was done in kit tissue. On my more recent builds, if I don't like the kit tissue, I use the white Esaki tissue. |

| WOW! Appreciate all your comments. Enjoyed checking out your builds of the P-40. Especially liked the Chinese versions. Now I've got some questions to answer.
jace - Two coats clear dope; then rub lightly with worn Scotch Bright pad; no primer; 3 coats Krylon for good coverage. |

| Dale, great job again. Have you posted any of your builds over at the Guillows forum? Good job with the tissue, how do you attatch it? One last question, on your B29 did you use Silkspan or Esaki tissue? |

| Wonderful! |

| I like the finsh with the Krylon. Did you apply any Dope before priming and painting? |
| jerry campbell, Comment for image # 23145 | 06 Jul 11 17:45 |
| This was the first kit I did (as practice) when I came back to building "stick and paper". Mine did not come out to this quality. Really looks good, great job. |
