Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

The rib stitch is the strips, where the pinking is in rolls.

BTW: I cut all my covering on a mirror... So the picturs may look weird.

I cut a few strips 3/8" wide for the stabs.

I started with the verticle stab... Here's the rib stitch on...

I went over the rib stitch with the pink-it!

Looks great.

And is easy.

Looks great Matt!

Not being familiar with Solartex, what is the finishing process? Trying to compare it with the Stits process which I know.

Fuse, is all pinked and stitched.

It is an iron on fabric... Like ultracote, but is a cloth.

Matt....please don't take the tape around the leading edges, as it's not done on the full scale. The LE's are usually aluminum with the tape and stitching starting at the front spar and going back.

On the wings Earle... But on the stabs, they are... From the pictures I have.

No?
