Nice looking model you've got there by the way. Make it a C/L'er and put a Fox.35 in it.

Status: offline 		I just cleaned up and set the piston on one of my new Surestarts in anticipation. Or maybe I should ready my old TD 051/049 hybrid. Looks good, Steve! Wish I could build that fast. That already represents about 2 months of modeling time for me. Took 3 months to finish my Skydrill.

My old oil soaked PT-19 is retired. At 17oz it was a bit too much of a handfull anyway...

Status: offline 		Sorry about giving you 'overload' Raymond... I am trying to do some scale effects. The lower fuse aft of the front pilot was fabric covered. The top plywood and the fron s/metal. Good ole Doculam painted on the glue side for finish.

Status: offline 		Steve,

I am a big fan of laminating film. But I have never tried to duplicate a scale fabric finish with paint on the inside. Now that I think of it, I wonder if some careful scrubbing with really fine steel wool might not dull down the shiney outside of the film. If you don't try it, I will.
