Re: Flyline Models Stearman C3B
Magnificent work, as always. Your ability to craft the details from scratch is remarkable.
Quick question, why did you decide to use infill on those parts of the airframe that would have been fabric covered? Not a criticism mind you, just curious.

Re: Flyline Models Stearman C3B
I have used silkspan and tissue and coverite etc in the past and they just dont hold up over time or they distort the model though thats probably more my fault than theirs.
I know purists like to see the ribs stitching and shapes through the material but I’m not as interested in that as I am
In durability.
This is just my solution. On my early period, fabric covered airplane models one just has to squint a bit.. or give an old dog his bone and accept em for what they are.
Im ok either way. This I do for fun and I completely understand the question being asked.
Hope I have answered it well enough.
