Default how to cover fuselage ?

Hi,

I managed to cover the wing pretty nice using monocote.
The measurement was pretty easy since it was pretty much a long rectangle.
But I am seriously stuck in fuselage.
How do I cover fuselage ?
Thanks.

Default RE: how to cover fuselage ?

A lot depends on what type of plane it is, but here's the basic idea...

Start at the back, and work your way forward.

If tail feathers are already attached, add 3/8" wide strips of covering to the corners first.

Do the bottom first, then sides, then top.
