Everybody already probably knows this but WD-40 will remove the goo left behind after masking
a canopy with Bare-Metal Foil.
What is new (to me anyway) is that WD-40 is now marketed in a 'pen' applicator with a felt tip...kinda
like a magic marker. This works great for clean-up between frames.

Ooh that is a good tip, thanks Jeff.
Anyone tried it on Parafilm? I hate scraping it off...Might try it myself

It's hard to argue when
you won't stop making sense
But my tongue still misbehaves and it
keeps digging my own grave

What is kinda funny is that the cardboard backing of the package shows several uses of the 'stick' and
one of the uses is removing glue residue. So it might work for Parafilm.....don't know if this packaging
is available yet down under, but the regular spray stuff is the same
I wish I would have heard about WD-40 before I tried Meguiars #2 mirror glaze on my Kanonvogel. The
BMF masking instructions somewhere on the Net mention using #3 glaze and I figured since #2 is
very similar (finer polish) it would work......it doesn't :angry: Now I have a Stuka that is totally done
without a canopy because the #2 stuff crazes clear plastic. Almost makes me want to waste $70 on
another kit just for a canopy. Does anybody know how/if I could get a replacement from Hasegawa?
Cheers

You can lead a person to information, but you can't make them think.

Thanks for the info Darin! I also have an email in to Rainbow 10 in Japan. I hear they can get
parts too. But I don't hear back from them then your information will definitely help!
I've been thinking of building the Storch....how is that kit anyway?
Cheers

You're welcome!
The Hasegawa Storch is one of their finest 1/32 kits. Absolutely beautiful. The cockpit is very visible under all that 'glass', and while the kit parts are sufficient, there's almost unlimited detailing possibilities.
Good luck with the Stuka canopy!
