Title: Coverings
Post by: stephen.shannon on June 25, 2014, 23:13:52 PM

I seem to be dominating this section of the forum ....  :shock:

Anyway, in the past six months I've stripped the covering off two planes that were ARTF kits ie not built up and covered. I've noticed that the cover on these 'factory' made/built models appear much thinner than the solarfilm or oracover I've used to recover the models.....


Is there an explanation for this? Are the covering processes vastly different?

Thanks

Stephen

Simple explanation: cost!
Cheaper material, a fraction of the cost of Oracover.

Stephen’s misses was telling me the other day that he enjoys a bit of
‘Domination’ :shock:  (It’s all too kinky for me)
