RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Try it sometime... it's ridiculously easy! And the panel lines are done using a well dulled and rounded X-acto blade and a flexible straightedge....

TTRotary

I used a marking wheel from a sewing kit, lol.. just run it along a straightedge, carefully of course because the sheeting is thin. No treatment on the wood at all.

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

I've seen the chrome cowl on someone's plane here... did you paint or cover it? I'm covering my P-51 with Chrome Ultracote but I'm kinda afraid to try it on the cowl and air intake.

Thanks!
