I really shouldn't start a new project, but I did anyway. I thought I would frame up DJ's DIII fuselage so I could make sure which engine I could fit in.

Once it is framed, though, I was wondering about the fuse skins. If I go with balsa skins as per the plans, how can I make them look like ply skins and how can I make them tough enough to hold up to ordinary handling without denting the balsa?

BTW, the laser cut parts are very nice!
