Really looking great Vince! I forgot how big that plane was. Seeing it next to the table really shows the scale.

I saw someone covering their similar size warbird with 1 oz so I'm feeling pretty good about 3/4 oz. May have to land with a little extra power!

Yes it answers it perfectly. I like the added step of removing excess glue. Makes sense and not sure why I wasn't doing it. Wood glue dries outside in so if I add too much then I can imagine trapped...
