Just revisiting this stellar work. This would be a prime candidate for an e-book!

 

Cheers,  Tom

Hey Tom,

 

Thanks for reviving this project - it is the one I have enjoyed the most to date! Appreciate your support as always.

Not sure how I missed this amazing work of art!  I will limit my 50 questions to just two:

 

PLEASE explain to us how you did your canopies including frame masking and clear glass finish.

Mr Murray,

 

I kept it simple. The clear parts were all polished with Tamiya finishing compound and thoroughly cleaned with soap and water. The windshield and aft section were glued onto the fuselage, and masked with the kit provided masks. I sprayed the black inside colour as a the first colour on the outside (since my experience with spraying inside and outside is a bit unpredictable). Thats it!

Most excellent build Sean.  I like how you changed the paint tone of the fabric surfaces and the Aotake looks really good.

Thanks very much Ernest. Another of the many tricks that I gleaned from Ryan's research!
