Default RE: Covering solid fuselage

pic 1 - the side film is pull-n-stretched into the engine bay (yea, Iused Finishing Resin to fuel proof the compartment before covering)
pic 2 - fuse side covering stretched into hatch bay details
pic 3 - wing saddle detail - the film was cut to relieve stress when pull-n-stretched over the wing saddle. NOTE: This should get a 1/2" wide strip running the full length before the sides were done - learning new stuff all the time
pic 4 - finished side
pic 5 - bottom of stab / fuse intersection details - the tack strip shows through - might have been better to have used a red tack strip - this seam would have been much better
pic 6 - top side details before covering
pic 7 - more details
pic 8 - repeating myself
pic 9 - this time started with a tack strip
pic 10 - nothing perfect
pic 11/12 - added a small tack strip where the windshield meets the hatch opening
