This is a sheeted wing, glassed with .5 oz cloth. It was primed with duplicolor and painted with Rustoleum. I hand rubbed, and waxed the finish, after painting.

BUSA 1/6 scale Nieuport 28C camoflage is a combination of Solartex and Monokote Flat iron on covering. Great Planes Super Skybolt kit (1960's vintage kit built a few years ago) is combination of Monokote and Ultracote based on the "Beast" color scheme.

Amazing work! Jaybird! I would love to get a Skybolt kit, beautiful bipe! And the Nieuport is flying art!!!!

Here are a couple of mine, some are covered in Monokote, some in Stits and painted and some are all composite and painted.

Wow! That's a lot of surface area!

Very nice models and workmanship in this thread. I'm seeing builders I've followed for years, that are still gettin with it, and have only honed the craft, thanks for sharing, and helping me learn!

TomCrump, Sensei, RICKSTUBBZ, Daddyo57, Jaybird, and many more then I can even name.... so many... Good thread here!

Very cool guys! Nice to be among you!

It seems to me that you are a master at covering, yourself.

Thanks so much Tom, thats a stretch though... I'm just very fortunate, and very slow at it... ha. I learned alot by watching, reading, and following alot of you guys. I only wish I could say I came up with many of the concepts I've seen. I do like my films, I'm always in awe of the real nice glassed and painted schemes though.

Hope everyone's having a great week.

Here's a few of my film covering jobs.

And a few painted:

DGrant,

I appreciate the positive comments. I agree --- lots of nice airplanes pictured here by a lot of guys that do a great job building/covering their flying machines.

Their are quite a few guys that I have followed their threads and learned....I don't want to put names for the chance of forgetting someone... But there are many.

That is the great thing about these forums -- all of us being able to share ideas and techniques. Not to mention the opportunities to build friendships across great distances.

ANYWAY....Without mentioning everyone by name....Great Job ....great Looking airplanes..

Very true.

I've made some great friendships through the forums.

I've seen some great builds that have inspired me to try to improve my building techniques.

These forums are awesome. I feel bad for those who do not utilize them as they are the best modelling resource available.

Sig 1/4 sc J-3 converted to L-4. Covered in Coverite Supershrink and painted in Chevron paints. Have not seen those in years. nice paints. Invasion stripes were painted as well. Pinked tapes throughout. Markings all vinyl graphics.

Sig 1/4 sc J-3 converted to Taylor E-2. Coverite Supershrink painted in Krylon spray cans. Pinked tapes throughout

ACE Taylorcraft covered in Supershrink as well painted with K&B epoxy paints. Nice paints.

Thought I would add one of mine covered in Hobby King covering. The plane is currently in the repair que and the covering scheme will be different.

Just finished this little guy. Old Circus Hobbies Reed Falcon with YS 140 power, all Monokote covering, Listerkote paint on the cowl and wheel pants with auto clear. 9.5 lbs all up. Of course had to have a matching Kaos.

My lazy ace covered in Sig Koverall and an all dope finish. Built from plans. Cowl is scratch built fiberglass. Originally it had a Supertigre .90. I livened it up with a US 41 which nearly ripped the wings off it then settled in on a G26.
