The fuselage is a cylinder... Call Henkel and ask what would be best... Do not ask another modeler...the reply will only be relative to what "they needed...then did"...either failing or working. Ask Henkel. __________________ Ed Flite-Metal For The Look Of The Real Thing Your Link   Back to Top  Printer Friendly Version  Profile  Search  Web    Alan Site Supporter Joined: December/10/2003 United States Posts: 16962 IP Logged Posted: May/17/2026 at 12:31pm  Quote    I don't have enough of the thin G-10, and the curves at the Tail of the fuselage are too tight for that even if I had enough. It was very expensive. I drove to Fort Worth to get it. Shipping was out of the question and still is. Going to stay with thin Birch Ply Panels for the Fuselage and probably the Wing Center Sections, then 3/16th Balsa for the rest of the Wings. That's the plan now, we shall see if that works out. __________________ Please engage Brain before operating tongue or machinery.
