You're really sailing through this one. Judging from the prop I see, this one is for display?

Nice covering job. What's your covering process?

I dry cover using a glue stick. I attach one edge first and let it dry. I attach the other 3 edges at one time pulling the covering tight. A single shrink is done when the glue is dry. With real Japanese tissue I preshrink it on a picture frame. On some models with super light fragile frames like 1930's Comet kits, I might not shrink the tissue at all. I finished with 50/50 nitrate dope and thinner with a few drops of castor oil.

The prop is removable, so is the landing gear. The option for flying will be there.
