Thanks guys. Chris- I know the bomb rack is wrong, but at 11:45 last night, I really didn't care. :p I might go back and fix it, but it works for me. as for the color thing, This is unfiddled with (pun intended). The school's color laser tends to wash out the colors a bit.

Excellent workmanship!!

The canopy makes the model look very realistic. Though the fact that it's unretouched takes a bit away from the realism feeling.

Very good model.

Wow, I want to try the hated plastic too. I like FG models and have a few, I can improve on them!
Thanks,
Corey

Ct- DO IT!!!!!!!!!! This thing was down right fun :D The only really tricky part was setting the wings to get the same angle. The fit on the plane was right on.

As for the realism of the glass work, please keep in mind that this is only my 3rd "glass" canopy. I'm still learning quite a bit about the whole process. The sticker paper isn't perfect for some parts of the application, but it works for me, and that's what counts.

I really enjoyed this build. And, I really enjoyed the strange looks from the wife when I was baking airplane parts. She thought I for sure had gone off the deep end :p

Good job Willygoat! It seems to me you have made complex shaped canopies...the p-51 will be a great one for you now...although be prepared for some trial and error right? That is funny about your wife wondering what you were cookin up:D

Excellent job! I love your canopy and the heated paper clip technique sounds very useful.

**Barry** · #38 10-21-2009, 07:46 PM

It's a good looking canopy

What are you saying Birder, that the Ju-88 canopy was complex?!?! :p That was actually easier to mold than this one though. It was quite small. I have been looking at doing another P-51. Hmmmmmm.

But right now, I'm shifting my focus to fake trees. They'll be used for a model I'm making for my mom. More on that later.
