Tissue covering the pink Hawker

I started building the pink Hawker Hurricane, which is a Guillows 506 kit, a couple of years ago. However, I never got around to finishing it. Tonight I got a spur of motivation, and pulled out the tissue paper and white glue.

The process is quite straight forward, the trick is to not apply glue to too big of a portion at the time.

After covering, the tissue has to be shrunk. This is done by applying water, which seems brutal. The end result should be pretty decent, although I did notice some creases that most likely will not stretch out completely. Regardless, it is a pink plane built mainly as a test for the RC conversion spitfire, so I do not care all that much.
