I used PET-G sheets to replace the canopy of my A-7: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=222549 I used 0.5mm thick sheets for this plane, but for 1/72 you probably need thinner ones (0,25 or 0,3mm)

I just finished my Eduard 1/48 Hellcat. I built it straight out of the box. The pilot is from Tamiya and the other guy is from Monogram. Thanks for looking,

What's the price of gas where you live?
Alonzo Fonzo replied to aerofan's topic in General Discussion
I paid yesterday 1,32€ (= 1,87USD) for one litre here in Austria! And it was a cheap gas station! -
I recently also tried vacu-forming on my A-7 project: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....howtopic=222549 The new canopy was a little too small (~0.3mm) but after I added the canopy framing it fitted almost perfect.

Another Blue Tail of VF-153! Awesome! Your panther looks great! -
Eduard - you guys dropped the ball on the MiG-21 thing!
Alonzo Fonzo replied to Jennings's topic in General Discussion
No, you just paid earlier (and without shipping costs for each order including the subscriber edition of the MIG-21). I remember they said the offer starts on february 1st and ends on 28th of february and eduard starts shipping the subscriber edition until 15th of march. I ordered mine mid- february knowing that it would leave eduard not before 15th of march, maybe some didn´t realize the later shipping of the kit? just a thought... Btw mine left Eduard on 14th march, and I really love this kit and the tiny helmet! -
Hi! After a clear gloss coat I use Micro Sol on the decals. In most cases (not too thick decal carrier fim) 1 or 2 layers of Micro sol and soft pressure with a brush should be enough to get the decals in the panel lines. One really important thing: don´t move the decals after the application of Micro Sol

Thanks Yardbird78! I was quite busy the last weeks, not much time for modeling :) I painted the missiles and bombs and applied the first layer of gloss grey on the A-7. The white underside was also reworked with another layer of white: I am planning to use the salt weathering technique on this one (my 1st try :) ) And now back to work, adding decals on my shrikes...

Question about weathering with oil paints...
Alonzo Fonzo replied to cook7997's topic in Tools 'n' Tips
I use water thinnable oil colors. I mix it with water, add a little bit special thinner (same brand as the water-oil colors) and use a soft cloth with thinner to remove the excess from the panel lines. works great for me and does not smell like turpentine oder enamel thinner.
