You're doing a great job on your P-47. Looks like you search around for different scraps around the house to make scale parts for your airplanes. Job well done Sir! I have to replace my airbrush with a better system. The last airbrush I had was terrible and the seals leaked. I'll try to replace it all before my next project. It looks as if you did plastic models once, or you still build them, because I noticed the techniques that you are using for your P-47 is about the same way I did my models when I used to compete.

The only thing I question that you did to your Fokker Dr1 is, you used canopy glue for some scale detail for your trim tape. How does it hold up when you have to re-hit it with the iron? Most stock covered ARF aircraft like to wrinkle because they never seem to put on the covering right at the factory. It's like they don't pull or stretch it enough before applying the heat. I have to hit all my airplanes once a year to tighten up everything just before the new flying season starts up again. If I ever had to copy your method would it hold up?

I think they sell scale trim tape in 1/3 and 1/4 scale. I saw it somewhere on the internet, but now I can't remember where I saw it.
