The covering is even cut away for the seating area of the stab. Note my covering expertise on the black stripes while trying to do some last minute tightening on the Monokote. Apparently the black stripes on the bottoms of the HS and wing are actually layered on with black monokote as are the trim stripes on the fuse and not molded in like the rest of the model. OOPS! I'll have to fix that later!
