Default Novice Flite Metal Techniques Continued

I found this guy with a nice series of videos on metal covering. Check out all 3. Worth watching.
I notice he uses slightly thicker foil. Adds a little weight but maybe more forgiving in stretch.

I'm attaching progress pictures. I ordered the leather tool he is using. I also tried the shish kabob stick technique. The jury is out, but it might definitely help in defining the panel lines better. I know I'll have to retrace many for clarity of the lines post sanding.


Getting close. Tail, almost done.

The ladder helped me slice top panel lines. I should have built the table lower.

Starboard side done. A few panels on the bottom and the cowl remains.
