G-10 for 10!!!! Perfect!

Does Future have an expiration date? I got these two from the US a seven years ago, but I didn't find an expiration date label anywhere.

You have confirmed my suspicions that the possible cause of fogging, is the not totally cured superglue in the cockpit. I glue all metal and resin parts with it. The only problem is that I don't know how long it takes to totally dry ordinary superglue.

I haven't used Future for coating of clear parts. I was always afraid of unpredictable reactions between the adhesive of the protective tape, and the layer of Future. Sometimes the interval between the installation of the tape and its final removal is 2-3 weeks. It really looks like some kind of moisture, which I tried to remove by exposing the model to direct sunlight, by carefully heating it with a hair dryer, but nothing happened. That strange moisture remains in place and unchanged even after a few months. I paint most of the glass parts before gluing, since I often paint the inner frames as well. When the paint dries, I remove the inner protection tape and glue the transparent parts for the fuselages. The outer protection is generally well sealed with additional Tamiya tapes and liquid mask (Mr.Masking sol NEO), as in your picture. The problem occurs in both summer and winter, so humidity is not crucial. I never wash transparent parts before use, nor do I touch them without gloves.

Hi! I have a problem with fogging of transparent plastic parts of canopy, after removal of painting masks. A "fog" forms on the inside side. It is relatively easy to remove with a piece of cotton wool attached to the thin wire, but when access is limited the problem almost completely disrupts the appearance of the model. For gluing transparent plastic I use Testors Clear Parts Cement. Is there a way to solve this problem? Thanks in advance Zeljko

Great work and inspiration for me! It was a big pleasure to keep track of progress...
