| The plans do not call for this. Trying to put anything in the areas where glass is involved is asking for disaster. The only place that actually uses it is the windscreen in front. Use a piece of plastic that food comes in, not a thick blob of plastic. For the glass areas on the door and windows, paint them. You’re trying to over build it. |

| seems to me we have discussed this once before... lots of stringers and silkspan !!! |
| mark eggebeen, Comment for image # 43835 | 23 Mar 22 22:30 |
| the first two models I infilled...and it worked the third I filled between the stringers and it worked too this one just had too much space between the stringer to take the pressure of the sanding!!! My next one will be the B 25 and I plan to put in lots of stringers and then use silkspan. I have not tried that. wish me luck... |

| Oh, so you have put filler on top of the tissue! I've never tried that, but I can see why you are having the problem you are. I do an "infill" with sheet balsa (usually 1/16 or 3/16) between each former and stringer, sand that to shape, then fill with light weight spackling paste to fill any low spots. Sand that smooth, cover with tissue/dope, light sand, prime and paint. Lots of examples of this process on this site. |

| My problem here is The build was tissue first Didn’t like it so I slathered on some filler , but when I sand I’ve been pressing too hard and ending up with thin spots that drop into the spaces between the stringers. |

| That's funny, but I can see the resemblance! Infill and sanding are not my most favorite part of model building, but the results are sure worth it! |
