Default RE: To Fiberglass or not to Fiberglass?

ORIGINAL: savoy

Go for it. I tried for the first time on my TF P-51 and found it slow but not hard. I was concerned about weight on a 1/7 scale warbird so I did things a little different. 1/2 oz cloth stuck down with Z-Poxy thinned with alchohol. 2-3 coats of water based poly with micro balloons to fill the weave, prime and paint. Approx dry weight of 11# which is not bad for this kit. Looks more scale than plastic film and is much more durable to hanger rash.
Where do you get waterbased poly at? How thin do you go with the Z-Poxy?
