So you thought you were alll done covering the fuselage, huh...
Welp, the bottom still needs to be covered.. The bottom is going
to be done in white to keep with the theme of the design.. This
will be a little easier than what was already done .. Lay out the
covering again starting at the tail and working forward keeping
it very tight... Part of this piece will be going over an open bay
where the elevator servo is accessed from and also over the
battery box.. After securing it at the forward most part pull out
covering from sides and run iron over edge to hold sides.. Lay up
and do trimming to where color separation is to be.. Trim and
iron down of course working out all wrinkles.. Sometimes a wrinkle
may get ironed in.. How in the heck does one get it out.. I found
by using a piece of thin balsa as a heat shield laid up to the line
on the new piece that a heat gun can be used with caution so
that the original covering is not heated to any appreciable extent..
Just gun it, then iron it out, wrinkle free covering...

Time to do the frontal area, bottom.. This is a little tricky as again
have to deal with compound curves, and, getting a color line on
the side.. Remembering I do not care for same color seaming..
I started at the rear are where leading edge of wing sits, ironed
in down for about an inch, then pulled it very tight to the front and
tacking it down at the rear of the nose gear opening..

After getting the piece tacked down had to do cuts to keep
covering from wrinkling over itself on the frontal curve as it is
brought up onto the sides for the color trim.. Iron it down, and
running gun over it where needed to get out wrinkles making sure
to run covering along entire side of nose gear opening..
Now the openings are cut out and covering is folded into the
openings after trimming off excess..

Now for the hard part.... Covering the simple flat hatch covers..
Waiting to do this till after the bottom is done the scrape from
doing the bottom can be used to do the hatches..

Now that the basic covering / colors have been applied time to
do the trim pieces..
First the windshield / windows are laid down.. This gives a good
idea where and how to lay out the coloring trim to match wings
and tail..
The windshield and windows were done with black monokote
scraps.. [8D]
