Canopy 101 again, ad nauseum
One of my favourite parts is vacuforming the canopies. I have 2 simple boxes, one for single crew and smaller canopies, and one for the big boys, dual seater jets, etc. I had to use the supersized one this time. The first step is to build up the kits canopy but put any connecting strips on the outside! You want a fairly clean interior for the sculpey. Here is the kit part dry fitted to make sure it covers and fits the fuselage openings. The sculpey is kneaded flat no more than 4mm wide, any thicker and it messes with the baking times of the sculpey, and of course the universal mold/canopy mold material SCULPEY!!!!
