Default RE: Help With Covering

Your cub is looking great.....

I am in the finishing stages of a Sig 1/5th Scale Cub. I went with SolarTex covering from Balsa USA and Nelson Hobby Paint. The SolarTex fabric was purchased in the natural color of semi transparent white. The Nelson stuff is good but difficult to work with. My 1st attempt at an "All Painted" plane.

Glad to see you went with the scale fillet on the rudder, looks nice.

I covered the sides of my fuse first and worked my way up. This ensures the seams are less visible as viewed from the top of the plane.

The first photo is the scheme I am copying....
