toadwbg Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 positives: I really like the faded paint job, markings look painted on Negatives: canopy cloudy. Some spots look like fingerprints that wiped dust off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plano Guy Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Great build. You're painting and weathering is outstanding. I agree that the canopy could use some clean-up. A dab Future on each panel would do the trick but try to keep it off of the frames if possible. It would make the framing glossy. Overall I would say your building skills are superior!

ChippyWho Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 :thumbsup: ! toadwbg and Piano Guy, would you not expect the canopy to look pretty murky on a working aircraft of this vintage? I don't know, wasn't there, but seen some pics that suggest the Future was not always Kleer...(ugh!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkC Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 looks very good to me ! I didnt notice cloudy cockpit glass - just thought it was effects for showing dirt and dust. Nicely done. Must say this Tamiya kit -- LOOKS REALLY GOOD ! Its made me want one cheers Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
