| I love these stick model kits. This is what modeling's all about. Close to building the real thing from the frame,.. up! |

| I call it card-stock. Maybe it`s called craft paper. It comes in a multitude of colors. Most art stores should have it. Michaels the big craft superstore has it among others.
If you want to try it, Try the Satin surface, or the Sheen surface stock. The flat paper stock I`ve been using does Buckle/Warp a little when you brush on the glue. The Sheen surface I`m sure work better,I`ve seen it in White. There may be other colors. |

Starting to skin with card-stock |

| That Silkspan looks interesting. I will have a look at your build thread David and see your method. Thank you.
I may once again go the card-stock route, I might even try covering it in that super thin pricey plywood. I`m still concerned about using tissue. I only marginally fill in the frames and it might be too frail to pencil panel lines over tissue. I will Investigate. :) |

| Thanks, Al. I suggest you start at the bottom of my hanger with the PBY-5. It and the ones that follow are all covered with silkspan and the procedure is always the same, whether on an open frame or on a sheeted model. |

| I've never covered my models with tissue, they all have been in-filled with balsa. The master at tissue covering is David Duckett. I believe he uses a heavy grade silkspan which I think is stronger than tissue, he's the one who can help with the dope/tissue and what process he does. By the way, the card-stock on your other models are fantastic!! |

| Yes I will be covering the model. I was thinking about using tissue this timeto speed up the covering process. Normally I cover my models is card -stock. My concern is the fragility of a Dope Tissue surface. The 2 models that I tissued in the past both have rips in them and their surface looks brittle. Any tips using Dope/tissue? Thanks. Josh |

| I put seats in the cockpit and there is a dashboard. I`ll ad a few more details. But I will keep it relatively simple. |
