Mordib,
In fact, it was your buddy who inspired me on this subject. I followed a thread in the Warbirds forum about the SBD's. I am planning on building a Dauntless by converting the plans of an A-17, however it is rather small, I think the wingspan is about 50". On a plane of this size, would it be too heavy to use fiberglass cloth? It sounds like fiberglass gives the best surface for adding scale details. I have never tried much detail before, so this plane will be my test bed.
Everyone, thanks for all of your help.
