Slartibartfast Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 You posted in the General forum archive, the quiet back-water where old but useful posts slowly molder with age. You should post this in the Jets forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 There's two narrow aluminum strips on the canopy centerline extending from the rear frames for both pilot and RIO about 2/3 forward - crew protection from lightning strikes. If there's a single line through the whole canopy in a scale model kit, that's the result of moulding process and should be eliminated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Expat Tomcat Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Given skill and a fine enough line of lead, I’m betting you could make the “lightening rod antenna” out of the line of death on the Tamiya canopy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
