Well, the in laws have left and I was able to finish the Comet Cub today. The only modifications to the kit was replacing the white tissue with yellow tissue and using black tissue for the black decals. By the way, adding tissue decals with dope thinner is the easiest way to trim out a model. I know there are many ways to make this a better model but this is nostalgia. I did print the Cub decal on paper and glued it to the rudder. Also, the Cub engines are the printed folded ones on the plans and I painted them with Testors enamel paint. Final weight as shown is 46 grams. Next is the trim flights. Not a perfect build but hey the kit is over 50 years old. |

| jgood, Comment for image # 44793 | 13 May 25 18:25 | | Flawless looking covering. Those wing ribs remind me of the rib pattern on the Ercoupe, although they don't cross over on the Coupe. |

I forgot how easy it is to cover with Japanese tissue, much easier than Domestic. Like all my vintage builds, I would have used the supplied tissue in the kit, but I cannot have a white J3 Cub. Since the span is too great on the on LE of the wing, you can see where it pulled it in, I knew this was going to happen, oh well. Tissue applied with 50/50 Elmers white glue and water then sealed with thin Sig Lite Cote. We have family coming into town so I will not be able to finish for a week or so. |
