Tim,
ANOTHER covering question. Regarding the diagonal multple white stipes on the aft fuselage. Are they easly removable? Or are they integrated into the O.D. covering?
We fly at the actual departure site of Doolittle's original aircraft (The restored U.S.S. Hornet resides in a berth at the edge of our field). I digress...Would like to scale the TF B-25 as close as possible to one of J.D.'s Raiders.
Thanks
Mike
Hi Mike.
The stripes on the fuselage are white MonoKote. They should peel off without too much difficulty. After you get them off, cut off a small piece of paper towel, dampen it with a few drops of CA debonder and wipe off any adhesive/residue that may have remained on the olive MonoKote. If you have any real difficulty peeling off a part of the stripes, you can heat the area with a covering iron and peel the stripe while the adhesive is still soft.
Keep us updated on your progress.
P.S. I started another thread about the Top Flite B-25 with lots of assembly tips and covering tips too. Everybody should check out the thread.
