SIG http://www.sigmfg.com/cgi-bin/dpsmar...FV4.html?E+Sig The sheeting is thin 1/32" and not too hard. The real chore was the whole engine cowling assy. Something around 60 parts, most of which are scratch building balsa. Those teardrop rocker covers were a pain but add a lot to the looks. The kit I built was an old one from the seventies I bought on ebay before I found out it was still made today. Ever work with old decals? I thought I would have to make new ones and I'm not very experienced there.

And yes, I plan to fly it which is why I bought it in the first place, even though I rarely fly freeflight models. I'm amazed by what people can do with tissue covering on these kits. I can barely cover them without wrinkles and others can give them paint schemes by using different colored and patternned paper!

Good luck
