Redline7000 and Chris,

I glassed the tail pieces first because it would be almost impossible to sand them in situ. For the fuse, i just cut a piece of cloth big enough to cover the side of the fuse from nose to tail, and enough to reach past the centre of the top and bottom. Then I just brush the thinned resin on and let it all hang down till cured. Sand off the overhang (no need to sand it perfectly). then do the other side the same. Sand off the overlap and then give the whole thing another coat of resin. When fully cured, sand with 80 grit till all the shine is gone. You should just be able to see the cloth but don't cut into the cloth.
I still havn't found Dan Parsons method but I will look again tonight. it has worked well for me with many models including a two BVM Ducted fan Sabres, which had to be light.

Regards
