...... just trying to decide what color(s) to cover it in. I will probably use a combination of transparent and solid film.

Status: offline 		The fuselage is basically done except for a few minor details. I will be moving on to the wings soon. I am using Monokote. I have gone through a lot of it so far just to get the turtle deck right. I probably covered and re-covered it at least 8 times until I finally figured out how to get the wrinkles out between the stringers.

Status: offline 		Well I didn't like the way the first covering job turned out so I went with a transparent blue and white. Then I learned the hard way about getting epoxy into the hinge points. After that I decided to rebuild the entire tail section. Instead of the support bars on the top, I put them on the bottom and used wire supports on the top. The tail is very rigid now, probably over kill but it looks cool. I will be starting the covering on the wings next.
