Default RE: Royal B-17

Hi Jan
I have been weighing(Literally) covering options,
and after carefully reading your first post on this thread,I see that
you glassed,but did not paint, you just used the oracover.
After checking out a lot of other Royal B-17's, I've found they
all seem to have one thing in common, THEY"REALLOLIVE
DRAB!!! And after having stared at your awesome looking
DC-3, I've come to realise, I want an aluminum looking B-17!
So, I'm going to glass it, But I'm not sure what would work best
for me, the flite metal type covering(which I know nothing about),
ormaybe the they way you apply oracover(Ultracote).
Any way you could fill mein on your technique?
and would it be okay for a weekend flyer? Wouldit hold up well
with regular use?

Thanks, Jon
