Thanks for chiming in and I'm glad to hear she's in the air Dave, hats off to you for rebuilding her. As for covering your next model have you considered Nelson Paint over natural Solartex? I know some might cringe at using Nelson as there are some issues with spraying it but brushing it on seams to have great results. Much cheaper to buy than Dope, no smell, and should give it an appropriate look for the Stratus.
