Should you ever consider this subject then take a moment to enjoy the following issues: The first, and for me was the most frustrating, was the general comments (even from the so called scale model experts) regarding the 'plastic' covering, and you will forever try to explain that the covering was authentic even to the same basic chemical composition as that of Cellon. The second being that the (original WWI) theory on a form of camouflage does work to some extent. This being applicable to the orientation in flight of the model only. You always have to keep watching the model very carefully because at a distance the orientation is quickly lost. Third being the extreme gentle handling of the thin covering. I used Oracover, through lack of access to a Monokote product which is believed to be slightly thicker. Extreme care is required when transporting the model as surface damage is extremely likely, and repairs prominent, although easy to implement. Fourth being the total lack of place to hide any structural inconsistencies. You will have to change, alter the existing model design, and then take utmost care in building the model, as the finish is the actual detail and finish of the model structure replicating the full-size structure.
