All this talk of clear dope, I bought lightweight 1.1 oz/sq. yd. ripstop nylon in both woodland marpat digital camo and a grayish silver.
I read where some are using these fabrics to cover RC combat aircraft, was thinking I could apply this to my 55 inch span Brodak Fock Wulf FW-190 profile CL warbird, or possibly my 33 inch span Midwest Curtiss P-40 Warhawk profile CL warbird. Although it wouldn't be totally scale, I thought it would be aesthetically pleasing and not be too far off from a desert camo aircraft representation. The silver would be used for the undersides. It would have the appearance of translucence similar to clear doped silk, but with a nice camo showing.
This would be the first time I am trying this.
What clear dope or paint might be suitable to fill the weave of these? They are supposedly water resistant.
