Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

I've seen a few videos on painting first coats then spraying 2nd/3rd coats. Just watched the hour plus Stits video so ready to get going.

Cranked the iron up to 350 and did second round of shrinking. The shrinking is substantial...........

I need to do more of an overlap. I assumed my finishing tape would be sufficient but more overlap for sure.

Started the second wing half but the MEK and Poly Tak fumes got to be too much.

I second the spray recommendation. I brushed the first coat on top of the ribs and sheeted surfaces then sprayed the first coat over the entire wing. The tapes were next followed by the final sprayed coat of Polyspray.

Some misc Cub work today.

Working more on second wing half. Had to replenish my MEK stock. Also got tired of dumping brushes and Poly Tak cups.

Great idea

spilled poly Tak or MEK sucks.

Getting better at curving the Poly Fiber. Cement and heat/melting the fiber combo works well.

Repairing some uglies before I switch to top piece. Example 1 of several.
