Thanks for the kind words, guys. Yes, the whole model was done with Eze Dope. The black outlines were done with Sharpe permanent marker. They did bleed a little when I applied Eze Dope over the top.  To be honest you would be better of using the decal sheet to create Tissue Cal decals.  Thats if you have the right printer with the right ink. Large size decals don't work that well on tissue. No, I did not have any decal set.

I love this build! Well done, sir! So, did you use kit decals and if so, do you use decal set to apply them? Also, did you use EZ Dope on all the tissue? Looks great from my perspective!

I cannot wait to start flying stuff but right now the weather here is so miserably wet. My sump has been running non-stop. Some years it never runs at all...I digress. Scientists are predicting that some day, maybe even in my life-time, it will be summer here in Wisconsin.  Thanks for sharing this build, TMG!

Amazing how the markings made it come alive!!!  Very nicely done.

Coming along fine! Interesting take on the flying wires.

Moving along, It took a bit of modification to get the wing struts right.

Using a tablespoon of Eze Dope into a 1/4 cup of water gives a 25%-75% mixture. I am using a common spray bottle to apply it. I think the trick is to apply it in light mist.  To much will give you tiny puddles.
