tclaridge,

I am simply applying dullcoat from Nelson hobbies. My first DR1 (Josef Jacobs) was recovered in black coverite fabric. My second is covered in red & white monocote (Raben) and sprayed with dullcote. Looks really cool but three wings of scallops was a pain. I know a lot of scale folks look down on modification of arfs, but with my work, I do an extensive amount of travel, so arfs are for me now. I was also successful with the spraying with my first Modeltech SE5a. I still struggle with time on those as well. Right now, I have a KMP B-25, GP Hawk P-6 and a Balsa USA Eindecker on the bench(es). Anyway, back to the Camel...I replaced the pilot with a Aces of Iron (scarf included). I did not use Hanger 9's rigging wires. I replaced tham all with elastic cord. I know some folks may say that this is not strong enough, but my PT-17 uses this cord and the tensile strength, although not as good as cable, will suffice for the job. Remember, these planes are not 3D. The guns were replaced with Willams Bros. I put a RAM WWI sound module underneath the top removable deck with the speaker in the lower fuselage. I have installed scale control horns with the elastic cord on all of the control surfaces (with the exception of underwing). So, nothing really spectacular, but just a few upgrades to satisfy myself. With all of this, I still have to redo the balance of the plane, but the B-25 working bomb-bay and bomb release mechanism has taken up a lot of my free time over the holidays. Hope this helps?
