500 F6F Hellcat Build Question

[Frank Model Builder]

For you old time/experienced model builders this will be a trivial question but I am just getting back into model building and could use some advice.

I decided for durability I would monokote this build. (I also want to try it because as a kid I did the tissue covering and was always envious of those who could do the monokote covering. It always looked so good.)

Here is the question. If I am covering this with monokote should I assemble it first (insert wing and tail into the fuselage) and then monokote it or monokote the separate assemblies first and then assemble them? I am a bit apprehensive of my ability to insert the wing through the fuselage if it is covered before insertion.

Thanks much for you advice,
Frank

I've done monokote on large r/c and tissue on Guillows.My feeling is to do the parts separately,then assemble,with balsa-to -balsa joints.
