leccyflyer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The Hobbyking film does that white line along the edge thing as well, but as you've discovered a wipe with a meths cloth takes it away and no harm done. Your Mustang is looking ace. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Very likely - it's the best film I've ever used, a joy to work with, right up there with Profilm, but at a fraction of the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hayward. Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 (edited) Just a little progress over the last few days, as well as covering I have also attached rudder and elevators with mylar hinges. Elevators have also been pinned through the hinges using cocktail sticks for extra security. Edited January 30 by David Hayward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Harris Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The Funfighters are a great range of planes. I had a FW190 with an OS25 many years ago. I don't have your build skills, but it was still a great flyer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hayward. Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 And more covering. The black stripes are self adhesive vinyl supplied by Elephant Supplies via ebay. Just the ailerons to go, plus a few trim bits and pieces and then final assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hayward. Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Sweet Virginia is now covered and decorated, I couldn't find a pilot I liked so painted the canopy black. All the lettering etc is printable clear vinyl, with a coat of fuel proofer once applied to protect the ink from fuel. All control throws and CG set up as per instructions; now just waiting for a suitable day. I will take shoot some video of her in action as soon as I get the chance and post it here. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
