Natural finish on fuselage
« on: November 16, 2014, 11:35:03 AM »
I would appreciate it very much if anyone has finished a fuselage naturally (just clear coating the sanded fuselage) could post some pictures.

Thank you

Mike

Very difficult...the wood work must be perfect!  No filler, etc or it shows as such.  You know what they say..."A good paint job can cover a multitude of sins!".  Good luck!

That is true Randy.  I have some ideas about using certain colors of wing covering with a natural balsa fuselage.

A profile Nobler built by Dane Covey.  It looks much better in person - very nice work by Dane.

My 1990 Box Car Chief - - - but I'm not going to run that photo again, since it's already been posted more times than a certain RC Pattern airplane <chuckle>   n~
