Wing tissued - roughly the third attempt - and sprayed with water. Hope tissueing gets easier with experience, I was just about fit to pack in after try number two!

PC! I missed this photo... a little disconcerting after all that work isn't it! Your next pic looks pretty good IMO and I'll bet the dope will shrink it a little more. Is this practice for the Cherokee?

Try using Esaki tissue, you won't be disappointed at all. I tried using some of the West Wings Tissue but ended up removing it and using the Easki. No comparison. Shiny side down.

LB1.. I used Peck Polymer's "domestic" tissue and had pretty good results using glue stick and water/alcohol. I do want to try the Esaki, but that it is more expensive and I was pretty happy with the cheap stuff. I do have a fair amount of experience with monokote which is very tough and forgiving and probably provides some intangible facility with covering wing/fuselage.

Yeah I thought I'd make up the Hurricane as best I could to get all the mistakes out of the way. This is just plain old tissue paper I picked up at a craft shop. I'll post some photos in a bit but I'm definitely getting better at tissue covering.
