Wow!
That's very interesting information! Thanks.
So to repair the surface, I would need to re-apply this "Dope" Substance? Where do I get it from? Do hobby shops sell it? Being an older plane, is this "Dope" still available?
And with this method, can I just replace the damaged sections or do I need to re-coat the whole plane? (I would loose all the Decals and colors if I was to do this)
Also, would I need to replace any of the balsawood? It doesn't appear to be broken anywhere, but then again, I can't really see inside the plane or underneath this "Dope" covering.
Would a wood glue be ok to apply to repair some of the cracks?
What is the process for repair using this "Dope" Method? If you know, please post here or E-mail me - it would be ever so helpful!

Thanks

KJ :-)
