You just can't beat a good fabric finish.
I am finishing up a 1/3 Waco rebuild. Poly-Fiber Lite fabric, Klass Kote primer and paint. You never have to worry about this stuff developing wrinkles or blisters.
I will still use iron on covering for small sport models but anything of any size or a scale plane gets fabric.
Later!!

Outstanding work Anthony!!!
I can't agree with you more on the choice of fabric when working on the larger models. I infact had planned to use Sig Koveral to cover a 1/3rd scal Spacewalker. But after seeing the results of what your wings look like I may switch over to Poly-Fiber Lite. the fabric width is a plus and the price seems to be better. But when contemplating the covering of models that are smaller its a tough choice to go with using the iron fabric or taking the extra amount of time to go with the traditional covering materials. The good quality paints are hard to come by these days due to environmental reasons and the extra added cost of shipping a "hazardous" chemical via USPS or UPS. Okay I sometimes can be cheep and yes my time is limited these days for what I'm able to break free from the career and family. I have built many airplanes that turned out really clean and pretty when Iused MonoKote. But when they changed the formula of the material (the company has stated it was for environmental reasons) it is not suff Iwould chose to work with these days. I broke my traditional use of that material after using it for 20+ years which is a shame on their part.
Again the covering and paint job look fantastic. I'd like to hear how you got the paint seams so clean.
