dope may be hard to come by. if you are going electric, you can use nitrate dope. glow would need butrate dope. there are some people that have used Aeroglass dope and its supposedly fuel proof nitrate dope because of some addative. at least i think i have that right. lots of people now-a-days are applying tissue with a glue stick. is this what you plan to do? also, some people are just skipping out on dope and using various types of spray paint.

Just for grins, Here is some pics of the same kit I am building as a static model for my grandson. Notice: I am building up the cowl area and threw the plastic cowl away. The sheeting was a fun little project.
