| Hi rhysleo, looking good!
It is great to see someone your age interested in model airplanes. Keep up the nice work! Also, you have a great source on this website if you ever need any help; these guys and gals know their stuff! |

As you can see, i have the tail fin and the horizontal stabalizer ready to be glued. the fuselauge is not all the way pinned but will be built when i get the glue. |

| it hasn't changed much since you last came. i have got the wax paper and all i need is the glue. i am probably getting that today or tomorrow. i haven't been able to upload any pics because i cant find the cord that connects the camera to the computer. i'll upload them as soon as i can when i find it.

| How is the Hellcat coming along, Rhys? |

| I've found that simple masking tape painted and cut into the proper width is a very effective way to do this and in many cases the easiest way to achieve a clean look. The lines on the canopy of my Dornier 335 are all masking tape. |

| it wasn't my idea to do the solite covering thing. it was James Good's idea. he seems to know what he is doing as well as you and david duckett. i think i am going to stay with the solite idea because frankly i am done with buying more stuff that i don't really need. thanks for the advice. i might do that on another plane i build. |

| Consider a technique from the Master...David Duckett....purchase some liquid masking. Paint it on, after drying,lightly score with a hobby knife and peel off those areas that you want to paint. Also there is available a very narrow trim tape that will work well. I've used both methods with success. (Will the covering iron melt/soften the plastic??) |

| i put it on the outside its just hard to notice. i think what i might do is take solite covering an cut out tiny strips and put them on it with a covering iron... |

| Looking to me like you placed the tape on the INSIDE of the canopy....I always put mine on the outside. |
| rhysleo, Image # 12472 | 23 May 09 09:41 |
i tried to do what cdwheatly did on the canopy but mine doesn't look nearly as good. |

Everything needed to build the hellcat is on the building board...well almost everything... |
