finishing with Koverall or equivelant
Hello gentlemen,Ihave a covering question and since up untill this point I have mostly delt with monokote i hope I came to thre right place.I have a greatplanes 1/12th scale f4u corsair.When I recieved this plane there were some defects in the sheeting so I had to uncover the wings and repair them.I also uncovered the fuse because there was a problem with the covering .Instead of the typical monokote Iwould like to cover this with koverall or equivelant.I know that this is alot more work and will add more weight to the model but I can not stand monokote anymore.The Main questions that I have are on a fully sheeted fuse do I have to glass it or can I directly paint the fuse to sane weight.Also what dou you do with the open parts of the wing will the koverall shrink on these areas ,also will this stuff shrink with nitrate or dope put on to the cloth when you apply the iron.So basicly what I am asking for is a step by step detailed instructions for this small aircraft,like I said I know this process will add more weight but I would really like to get proficiant at this process for my next 1/4 scale project.i feel that this is going to be a lost art soon and that will truley be a shame
Sincerly, Mark
