Good morning Mark. That is looking so so good. I find all of your videos very informative and enjoyable. Even though I have been building models for nearly sixty years, (blimey) I am still learning tips and tricks from watching other videos including yours. Thank you for the link to last week's video covering material. Take care. Terry
Good Morning 😀 thank you, appreciate you continuing support, really pleased you enjoy the videos, have a great day. Hopping to get out to the airfield today, If the thick fog clears!
Great tips along the way Mark, I would never have thought of joining the film prior to putting it on the fuselage. I hope the Fog clears for you today 👍
Evening Mark, another great video, but one I wish I had seen two days ago before I covered a Beaver I have just built. As for colour pattering, that is one I will stick in my memory banks for my next build. Thanks and keep up the good work, your vids really help beginners like me. Cheers
Good video Mark, you are very talented, anyway our local flying club had to shut down, so the hobby is on hold, and unfortunately viewing your channel on a regular basis.
Have been using Oracover and Oralite for about 5 years now (since Solarfilm started to disappear) and agree with everything you've said in this and the previous covering review. Also worth mentioning is the fact that Oracolor paints are all exact matches to the corresponding films. They recommend mixing the entire bottle of hardener with the entire tin of paint which would produce 150ml of paint. Since the paint, hardener, thinners etc, all cost a bomb, and once mixed set hard within an hour, I draw up small quantities of paint and hardener with disposable.syringes and then mix in old paint tin lids. Normally about 6ml of catalysed paint (4ml paint and 2ml of hardener) produced that way is more than enough for most jobs. For instance that amount of red would cover the inside of the Tomboy nose three times over. I tend to build a lot of vintage types and have a Junior 60, Quaker Flash, Powerhouse, 2.7 times enlarged Eaglet, Southerner Major, Cloud Clipper and others amongst my fleet. All use variations on your Tomboy fuselage scheme but I've never tried joining the colours before applying . Will do so next time having watched your excellent example. On the other hand I've always left the dowels out till after covering. but then we all learn from other modellers. I'm 75, have been aeromodelling since the age of 10 and with help from others expect to become at least half as good as I want to be before I die 😀
Another nice video Mark. What is your rationale for applying the covering before applying the windows? I usually do the opposite, so that no oil gets under the film, then finish off the windows with some thin trim tape. Looking good mate!
Hi Steve, thanks for the comment, pleased you like the video. However you do the windows there will be seams and the posibility of seapage of oil etc, I just think it looks a much nice finish this way, cleaner lines.
What. Why am I? What even is this. How did this turn up on my youtube. I mean, it looks very good and it's quite impressive but I'm very baffled. Took me a long while to work out wtf he was even building.
Hi Mark. I am pleasantly enjoying your built videos😀👍
Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed it, appreciate the comment. Fog! mmmh, not looking so good at present, but ever hopeful, Thanks Cliff
Fog cleared and had a couple of nice flights so far 😜
@@MarkRobinson555 Great news 👍
very nice video i am excited for the maiden flight
Thanks very much for the comment, it's appreciated 😀
Ive never joined covering before application on the model interesting.

Thanks very much for the comment, so pleased yo hear you find the videos useful
Dear Mark! Thanks for this video. Enjoyed very much. I found it pretty useful.
Thank you, really appreciate you letting me know, so pleased you enjoyed the video 😀
Awesome covering job. I will be copying your technique on my next model.
Awesome, thank you!
brilliant video, quality work always. I've got everything I need now to build one myself and I'll leave the dowel out Mark 😀
Thanks very much Mark, appreciate the comment - dont know what posessed me to glue the dowels in before the covering, we live and learn! hahahaha

Thanks for the comment, so sorry to hear about your flying club, I hope you manage to get another flying site sorted soon

Thanks for the great comment and all the information - Yes so wish I had left the dowels out, but worked out in the end, thanks again
Building videos😀👍
