O.k. heres the question. I am building an albatross and all the pictures I have seen the have a clear coated wooden fuselage.
How do I imitate that look? Can you stain balsa then clear coat it? Also the wings and control surfaces on the tail are fabric covered and I've done some reading and was going to use either worldtex or solartex. Any input on that as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve
