Default RE: The good, the bad, the ugly

You can do it Cal just take your time and it will turn out great.

Draw up some rough sketches of your plane and use markers and color in the spaces, keep doing this till your satisfied, thats what i do alot of the time, its very helpful. Also, on rcuniverse they have some really great videos of the procedure/process of covering. like for corners/edges and such areas you want to put down a small strip like 1/2" or so that will cover the edge. then once you have those all done you do the main areas, like the fuselage sides, top + bottom of elevator, etc...

The good, first to rc, I love building. The bad, covering. The ugly, trying to make my coverting look good. I know it will take practice, and my covering skills needs a lot of work. It's frustrating after taking so much time and effort in building your kit, and find out the covering process is so time consuming, and patience is a must. You are so close but yet so far.

Just venting .
