basic approach - front film overlaps rear film so that the exhaust & air doesn't hit the leading edge of a seam - it will pull up otherwise

pic 1 - rough cut film for the rear fuse bottom
pic 2 - Harry Higley trim cutter cuts 1/8" margins beautifully
pic 3 - bottom red sealed and shrunk - the HHtrim tool makes a nice 1/8" piece that is sealed over the sides of the fuse
pic 4 - before cutting
pic 5 - after cutting - note the pencil lines - this is where the red / white seam will be
pic 6 - focus - the forward bottom white piece overlaps the red by 1/4"
pic 7 - my technique for opening up holes thru film - heat "T" pin glowing red then insert into hole and follow the edge
pic 8 - the landing gear holes are cleared
pic 9/10/11 - freezer paper used to cut templates
pic 12 - skipped a few steps - the side has been finished - note - the windshield area has yet to be covered
