When it dries I used 220 wet/dry sandpaper to sand away the excess silkspan. The sanding block is also used for the same purpose. Each side required two pieces.

Outside surrounded by large cardboard boxes from Amazon which contained large canvases.....The entire structure has several coats of nitrate dope on it and is quite smooth enough but I want this one covered. Dip the silkspan in the water, lay it on the towel, wipe it slightly to remove excess water, lay it down, smooth it out, and paint dope all over it. Absolutely guaranteed not to deform the wood! :-)

I have no idea what color the wheelwells should be and black is unrealistic so gray should work.

The wings have been glued on with spacers under each wing tip. The fin is now glued in place with the bottles insuring proper alignment.

Nice weather has allowed me to get outside to dope the planes in work. This is wet covered heavy grade silkspan attached with nitrate dope. As it all dries it shrinks to fit and the excess is trimmed away.
