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

Hi Vic

I have the Sig 1/6 J3 cub and I am covering it in Solartex - which is an iron on woven film and is available in "Cub Yellow" and has a matching paint (Solarlac) to spray the ABS cowl with. Solartex is really easy to work with in my opinion more so than monocote and should be readily available.

Try the link to a thread which describes the covering method(s) for the fuselage around the rudder.

Good luck with the build

Andrew
