| scigs30 | 10-Nov-09 08:36 | | Looks great,,,,,Like a vintage freeflight. |
| TJH | 10-Nov-09 09:30 | | Thanks! That's what I am aiming for. This is using all original materials on this run except for the tissue; that is left over from some other past kits. I may end up building another wih new wood sometime down the road. |
| scigs30 | 10-Nov-09 11:42 | | For some reason, domestic tissue looks just right on vintage builds..... |
| TJH | 10-Nov-09 12:28 | | I was considering painting it at first and after covering it I think I will leave it as is and just paint the wing and landing gear struts. |
| scigs30 | 10-Nov-09 12:41 | | Back in the day Comet used to sell colored tissue. |
| TJH | 10-Nov-09 12:54 | | Yeah, I built some Comet kits back in the '70's, then just got back into this a few years ago. The yellow on this one is left over from my Peck-polymers J-3, and the white is Guillow's. I have been getting my other colors from Easy Built. BTW - Your work on your planes with the color tissue is outstanding! |
| scigs30 | 10-Nov-09 13:16 | | I like using colored tissue, leave painting to the pros like David Duckett. |
| TJH | 10-Nov-09 13:53 | | You got that right! I just appreciate this website to be able to learn from the pros and to see great models displayed. |
