F`s are my favs Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Wonderful, spectacular, magnificent! I always wondered what is that canopy vent before knowing that it is a canopy vent. The test fit photos are beautiful, I don't know how you keep the canpy without a single dust particle. I wonder about the outer lower sides of the frame, is it normal that way without rivets at all... While the overall look - no words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel111 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just awesome... and I am already loving the blue colors on the frame, so nice to see a non-gray modern jet. Cheers, Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck540z3 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks Guys! Wonderful, spectacular, magnificent! I always wondered what is that canopy vent before knowing that it is a canopy vent. The test fit photos are beautiful, I don't know how you keep the canpy without a single dust particle. I wonder about the outer lower sides of the frame, is it normal that way without rivets at all... While the overall look - no words! Thank you sir! As for rivet detail on the lower portions of the canopy (or windscreen), I am torn. While the styrene at the front of the windscreen can accept rivet marks with a needle, the very soft vinyl tape will not. You can see fastener marks on the canopy frame of the real deal from 10 feet away, but maybe not 32 feet away, so perhaps it doesn't really matter if you can see them at all at 1/32 scale. I have some UMM decal rivets in silver that might work, but the carrier film is a bit thick so I'm afraid to use them, because there's no turning back after using Microsoft to soften them. I may still give them a try, but right now I'm going to just live with how it looks, knowing that it still looks better than the kit detail, which doesn't exist at all!

dodgem37 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 'That lip on the rear of the canopy frame actually exists on the real deal' Isn't that interesting. You sure do beautiful work, Chuck. Educational as well. Appreciate you gracing these pages. Sincerely, Mark Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
