Help with FOD Covers


Recommended Posts

Anyone have any ideas on how to scratch build/make the soft F.O.D. Covers on an F-18C hornet ? I know there is A/M options, but little $ in the budget to go that route ? I was thinking the PVA/water mix for tarps used in armor builds ? Curious to know what opinions are for that method ? Any answers are graciously appreciated in advance.

When doing FOD covers I almost exclusively use pva/water method. Select an appropriate tissue (grain/pattern) cut out what you need, slap it on and wet with the mix. Now carefully adjust it to how you want it. This is the opportunity to put in creases and/or a slack fitting section, then let it dry (I put mine in the laundry drying cupboard), I give it 24hrs but you could probably do less. With a fresh or you now to be a sharp scalpel trim the excess away - prime & paint.
