After many hours of filling and sanding think she is ready for some
fibreglass.
Found out today that water based polyurathane is great to give your model
a nice glossy finish, but is a bugger to sand off if you ever decide to
change colour schemes.
Also this F16 only has depron elevons the rest of the model is similar to
the parkzone T28 or mustang. Definately easier to sand depron than this
other foam and you have to be careful not to accidently take chunks of foam
off when you are using the coarse sandpaper.
As it looks like we are not going to get much flying in this weekend I'll start
the fibreglassing tomorrow.
