Thanks Rich; I silked with red on the fuse and yellow on wings and tail feathers. Then I used Sig Red (Tennessee?) dope to paint on trim, cowl and the sheeted fuse area behind the cowl. The cowl is carved balsa block covered in silk. One of the great things about silk is the way it goes around compound curves like the cowl. Once it is well doped you can feather the seams with sandpaper.
