[Hobbyking Film]

Hi

Ive used easycoat seconds recently for the first time I found it to be ok to use. To be honest I think its a bargain at 9.99 a roll for 5 metres

I found it better than hobbyking covering when doing the wingtips on my woodpecker

Sometimes when using hk film when it comes to the wingtips I struggle to get them right but with the easycoat I managed to get them spot on with no wrinkles straight away.

I wouldnt hesitate to buy more of it.

Seeing as hk has not had any film for a while

[Moon Dancer 2]

Nice one charlie looks great.

Good luck for the maiden.

Very true peter.

But there is a simple solution if one hasnt a good vice.

Grab a piece of 12mm ply whatever size suits.

Draw round the base of the bender cut the hole out so the base fits snug into the ply clamp the ply to the bench and voila a nice flat surface to make an undetcarriage.

Charlie another one to have a look at is the k&s mighty wire bender. Its a solid piece of kit mine works excellent a little pricey but will last me a life time.

Hi mark.

Well done looks great!

[DB Hurricane paint and finish.]

Looks fantastic jon!

For future ref.....Another way to get a soft edge is to get some masking tape and fold a little bit back on itself. So the softer edge you want the further back you fold the tape on itself.

Hope that makes sense

Hi basil.

Have you tried slec? They will certainly cut you a kit if they dont have one on the shelf. Wouldnt be to expensive either.
