Wow haven't seen a lockyer drawing for quite some time:-)
Thanks for the advice. I will try spliting the sheet.  I just finished 
painfully threading the film through the hinges and wrapping it arround.  I 
then brought the film back to complete the seam.  I thought it was going 
great.  Then I burned a hole in the damn film with the heat gun.  I'll try 
again in a bit. BY the way this is a gentle lady. It looks like an easy build 
so if I really get annoyed I'll just redo the whole tail assembly.
