| Wings covered dry with 00 silkspan then shrunk with water. |

| Perfect cover job. Well done! |

| That silkspan is some amazing stuff, the wings wouldn't have come out so nicely with typical kit tissue. I think I could even have gone with 000 considering how strong this 00 is. |

| Actually, it appears that 00 is lighter than 000. |

| Nice covering. Did you use dope or 50/50 white glue? |

| I used dope for this one, I forget why I decided to use dope rather than try Dave's 50/50 white glue method. I guess part of it was wanting to cover with dry tissue so I wouldn't get any warping. |

| Very nice indeed! To clarify, this David uses dope to attach the silkspan to the frame and the 50/50 glue mixture to seal the frame prior to that. |
