Now on to the subject. I propose that we each leave some 'how to basics' here for future generations of stringbag modelers. While there are several good soft cover monographs on the subject of modeling in general. Most of you have heard me blather on about what I do for about two years now. Shirley, you have found some ways beyond my comprehension. Lets begin.

When practicing the DURAS method of rigging multiplane aircraft always work at applying you adhesives from the upper surface of the top wing and bottom surface of the lower wings. doing this eliminates you having to work in the bay areas and scraping excess glue away from the struts and set rigging lines. The listed surfaces being free from obstructionscan be trimmed and scrapped freely. Touch up and dull coat as a last step.
