Captain Tyler Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hello again guys! I'm curious as to what might be the most realistic approach to doing an indium coating to the F-22 canopy. How Micheal Phillips built his 1st FW F-22A here was spot-on, and whilst he says he uses a nail polish or some similar product, he does not specify what it is exactly. https://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal16/15501-15600/gal15555-F-22-Phillips/00.shtm But I want to hear from you guys! I want that reflective effect without adding flake or sacrificing canopy transparency TOO too much. What do you think? Methods? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okthree Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Check out Janissary’s Hornet build. He uses a Sharpie and isopropyl alcohol. I know Sharpie makes gold pens. You could give that a try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is a very good idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
