Default 1/4 Sig J-3 Cub FIRST BUILD HELP!

OK Boys this will be my first kit. I only fly GS aerobatics (40% Extra) but I have a G26 laying around and I decided I wanted a scale plane for it, so I can fly it in cross-countries, and basically during the week on afternoons when I don't feel like transporting the 40% and assembling/disassembling just for a couple flights.

I have a pretty good wood-working ability and have enough knowledge to build one of these, but whatever hints, tips or guidance you guys can give me would be sweet!!

Here are a couple questions..

1) Covering: I don't have a clue how to cover the back of the fuse where the rudder starts.

2) Covering: I want the plane to look nice but I don't want to spend so much money on Coverite fabric. Can I just use regular monokote, then sand and spray some satin clear coat so it kinda looks like fabric?

3) Cowling is ABS plastic, how are you guys painting it?

This and any other help will be greatly appreciated!
