Blue77,
Here's an idea I've been kicking around that you might want to try.
I thought about getting a scale arf like the hanger nine cub or maby the great planes waco and ripping the covering off and put fabric on it.
Then you could put panel lines and rivets, maby some rib stitching too.
Sometimes you can get a hole in monocote just loading and unloading the plane from your vehicle
If you are going to do that..............why not just buy a kit????? You would probably build it better than the arf and you would not have the hassle of taking off the factory covering just to put more covering back on. I used automotive striping tape for panels lines on a bird I built a long time ago and swore I'd never go to that much detail again. At 100' you can't see them anyway and they didn't look very good in a pile either.
