You need to think about what you want to achieve. Paul and Gazza's methods will add strength to your airframe and provide a good glossy finish due to the addition of fibreglass. My method just seals the surface and facilitates the paintjob. If you sat my Stryker next to Paul's L39 the 39 has a much nicer finish and a harder surface.
I suspect you want to add strength and rigidity so go with Paul and Gazz's methods. Just using the poly does not stiffen the structure up that much.
