Wrinkles come with age, and I have more than my share! Using iron-on coverings, and getting the wrinkles out is a learned skill. One I have spent years and years trying to perfect., with limited success. Hence, my main reason for buying an ARF.

Your first iron-on covering looks better than mine did! I had been using silk and dope for years, with some pretty good results. It took nearly a year (silked three models during that time) of my wife threatening to murder me for 'stinking up the new house', before I tried monokote a second time.

One of the more difficult tasks is putting a trim color over your primary. You didn't say if the black is iron-on or sticky trim. Please comment on this so the guys with skill can offer specific hints.
