Bigasshammm Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 So I have the painstaking task of making 3 of these. What's the best way? I have the good ole canopy glue but is there a better way? is there anything to be done about seams? How do you paint and mask them? Share your thoughts and ideas as I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be going through this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flyfort17 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The Edward canopy mask set comes with the ball turret masks. If you wanted to go that route. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn M Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 let me look at my kit parts. Personally with 1 exception (the main round window) the windows are quite small, so a basic polish up after fixing seams should be adequate. Masking, up to you. I'd use low tac masking tape and a few sharp blades, but this would also be a prime candidate for the BMF masking I see a lot, or use masking gel stuff. you could add a drop and smear with a tooth pick to the desired shape.

B-17 guy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I usually just brush paint them by hand. Sand the seams good and the paint will take care of the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Considering getting a set of these for my final Fort but would get them sooner if could use for all 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
