I've always liked the appearance of the transparent coverings so I decided to cover my new Imitation profile with it to show off all the nice geodetic structures in the flaps, stab and elevators.
The transparent covering does come with some issues that cause you to put on your thinking cap however. Everywhere you overlap, everywhere you touch it with an iron, it changes color, becomes darker. Not a big deal on the stab, elevators and flaps, you can pretty much seal the edges and use a heat gun to shrink the rest. They came out really nice. The fuselage is where the problem really became evident. I was going to try and cover each side with one piece, but with all the curves and twists and turns, that became futile frustration. I ended up piecing it together. I now have some obvious darker spots, mostly on the top and bottom. I will design my trim scheme to cover most of it up and the rest, well, I'm just not going to worry about.
I think if I ever use transparent again, I'll cover the fuselage in a solid color, at least that's my thinking right now. I'll see what it looks like when I'm finished.
Not a complaint, just an observation and hopefully a helpful tip to someone else considering transparent covering.
