- wtb esaki silk - RC Groups
I have used a lot of silk for models since 1963 and never did find the Japanese silk any better than the Habotai silks with one exception some Esaki color designs were just to cool to NOT use on an airplane China silk ---AKA Habotai silk ----sold by Dharma can be had in colors 8MM ,,or pure white 5MM or 8MM for under $6 per yard
- Covering a foam plane? Glass it, iron-on, homebrew, silk??
Silk is much lighter than firerglass, some say stronger Enough silk for plane weighed less than 1 2 oz Silk can conform around 3-D shapes After sanding and spackling, Hold silk against foam, brush on thinned glue Takes a little fussing to keep the silk down until dry Heat gun helps a lot Overlap pieces of silk

Silk can be difficult to cover with if you have not used it before Back in the day when Dinosaurs still roamed the earth was still cooling and I was young I used a lot of SIG Silkspan in the heavy weight on C L and some small R C airplanes ( 40 and under size)

Guy, I'm thinking that since the original used the formed sheet shells your plan sounds like it's going to result in a far stronger fuselage than required And likely a far heavier result than is wanted The original would likely have gotten a finish of something like silk or thin model covering nylon stuck on with a few coats of dope then
