I’ve now covered the wings and I have to admit that the Solartex shows no inclination to “lift” from the under cambered section, the wood was pre-treated with Solarlac Clearcoat, which greatly increases the strength of the bond with the Solartex but I’m going to stick to my original idea and also stitch the fabric to the ribs just in case.



Covering is one of my favourite parts of modelling; it is at this stage that the model stops being a “construction” and starts to become a model aircraft. It always gives me a boost to see the “solid” shape of the model.

Then again the boost might just come from the use of copious amounts of Clearcoat in the confines of the shed!!!
