zaktwist Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hi folks. Im racking my brain on how to create the canopy seals on my current AH-1W build. Im specifically talking about the black/grey rubber seals on the interior of the canopy (see photo)I'd rather not paint them on as I'm after a more 3d effect so any ideas/suggestions on what material to use would be helpfulZak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bmccarron Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 You might try painting a clear decal sheet in the appropriate colour, then cutting to shape and applying. Just a thought. Cheer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheRealMrEd Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Depending upon the scale, you might try black heat shrink tubing in the .05 to 1 mm sizes. Glue on with either watch cement or Future (Klear?). Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Even in 1/32 scale the seal would be quite thin. I suspect masking the area and apply multiple heavy coats of paint would provide enough relieve to make it convincing. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
