Look over Dave's shoulder while he reveals many quite unique tricks in light-weight fiberglassing. Use of heavy grit sandpaper, resin flow-coating, and the perfect fitting of the wing to fuselage fillets are only a few of the features included here. Dave's model is really taking shape now. Then he flips the model over to show how one of modeling's worst problems is solved: landing gear doors get laid-up in "glass". For the finale on this tape, he sprays on the first coat of primer, preparing for the FUN part ... Detailing and Painting. 'Techniques' with great tips in the following order.
