The kit’s cloth was printed with a similar process as the deck veneer. It was missing in some areas and blotchy in others. I can send you my original if you feel you are missing the full experience.

They easy and quick - take some scraps and play with it. This build log and others have the details, but the short answer is coat the fabric in water-souble varnish and then score the fabric (with an awl, a nail, the tip of a scissor). If you get to it, let me know how it goes!!!
