Default RE: Dynaflite Chipmunk - Build

The Build is progressing very well. Last night I did some sanding of the Stab and Elevators. The Elevators are built up, then sanded down to shape, it took much more work than I figured - over an hour to get it done, but the results are great.

Here is a question I have for anyone who might have a thought. This model has open bay wings, Ailerons, Flaps and Elevators, I am thinking of sheeting everything, then using Epoxy, primer and paint rather than a covering film or fabric, does anyone have any thoughts of the benefit of doing this. I really want an painted plane rather than a monocoat covered one, any ideas would be helpful.'
