Default RE: Sig Kougar Build

I have found that the heat gun is a very helpful tool. I'm using Sig Aerocote for the silver and Monocote for the Blue and Red.

The Aerocote appears to have much more shrink ability than the monocote does. It's a much heavier film as well - they both seem to have their own positive and negative traits though so I won't say one is better than the other. I have been using Monocote for more than 20 years though and figured it was time to try something new. I like the Aerocote and I think I will try it again on the next model. I just find with Monocote I don't have the shrinkability that I need.

Aerocote is much harder on an xacto blade though - I'll have to change the more frequently.

The wing is done except for the ailerons.
