Got another dumb question for you Charles. Do these kits come with the tissue or do you have to buy it separate?

Plenty of tissue comes with the model. I usually have some left over.

Moving along nicely Charles. Are you working up for a third entry!!

Definitely... no. I'm having trouble jockeying my time between the Hellcat and the F-14.

While I'm covering the fuselage, which is a slow process, I decided to work on the stabilizer. Making this in two pieces, so the elevator can be in a down position. Thanks for the kind words, guys...

Looking at these two shots I'm wondering if it would be possible to move the back mount of the rubber band a little bit down , between these two stringers below. In that way , you could attach a cockpit floor ( made of a balsa thin board and stuck to the second side stringer at the cockpit area.) So a few details to the cocpit interior , including the pilot seat could be aaded.



 


I've got all the fuselage covered, it would take some major surgery to do that. The formers jut into the cockpit area at least a half inch on the sides and bottom, so it really does not leave much room to play with.

At the stage of the build it would. But it was possible a little bit earlier.

Here my suggestion.....
