Default Covering Sequence

Hi all! I'm a total noob with R/C planes... In fact this is my first post here on RCU!

I'm building a Sig Kadet Mark II kit that I bought 12 years ago, started and never finished. Luckily most of the pieces made it and I'm having a blast finishing it with my 7 year old son.

I'll take a few pics if any ones interested in the progress too! I would say it's 80% complete...

Anyway the question I have is more of a sequencing one than an actual how to. I have read a bunch of how to's for covering planes but one thing seems to be missing... What sequence do I cover things? I understand that it's much easier to cover the wings before you put the ailerons onand the same goes for the rudder/elevator. Do I cover the fusalage first with the stabalizer and rudder off? If so how do I seal the joints were they meet? Do I put a small piece over the joints after they are on?

Thanks for all the help!
