JamesHatch Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Fantastic work so far James. You're making it all look far too easy. Too bad about the window masks! I've been masking both inside and out on my canopies for quite a while now but on the '189, that's a real job and a half. Thank goodness the corners of the windows aren't very radiused. Cheers, Wolf Absolutely! I ignored the radii. I don't think it will be noticed. I do admit that after this, masking canopy interiors seems easy. I may well continue.

JamesHatch Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Ok, only a little update as I go into fitting the canopy parts. The mid upper fuselage section required a 0.6mm shim of plasticard on either side so that it would come up to the height of the fore and aft clear resin canopies, so no step resulted. This section is glued with odourless CA so that nothing nasty lingers when I fit the clear resin parts. At this stage, progress seems to be slow, but I'm hoping to have the canopies and cupola guns installed within the next 48hrs...if I don't go mad first.

Joel_W Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 James, That's steady progress for sure. As well as advance planning so that the fore and aft canopy sections fit just about perfectly. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
