Nighthawk Calling 1 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I'm calling her done the more I fiddle with her something else gets snapped off, school boy error in the end by fitting the canopy to soon as the super glue that was used to attach the oxygen bottles must have needed more time to go off. MRP paints used first time using them and had no issues. Uncarina, daveculp, Citadelgrad and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Very nicely done. I like the attention to detail, in that weather conditions on the airfield in the early morning have caused condensation to form on the hood. mpk and Whitey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to laugh, but after soooooooooooo long in the build, oh well live and learn. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Beautiful big beast! I love the colorful markings as well; you did a great job. Would a light sanding/polishing/dip in acrylic floor polish do the trick? An alternative would be to order a Squadron Typhoon/Tempest vac canopy. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Tom Hi Tom, the canopy was sprayed with Tamiya X22 Clear, but in my rush to finish I had glued the oxygen bottle in place and the canopy was the last thing to do and on it went not thinking about the glue, so maybe a replacement will be sort to correct my mistake.
