Hi all
So I'm calling this done.....the canopy masks came off and the radio antenna cables added.
The Montex masks came off beautifully. The kit supplied masks, not quite so smoothly, so I had to do some touching up. The kit supplied ones were definitely inferior and noticeably thicker.
However what I did discover is that vinyl masks, at least on these builds don't like going around tight angles i.e. at the rear corners.
I think it's because at this scale the angles are too tight for the inherent 'springiness' of the material. You then combine that with actually very little canopy for the glue to adhere to and this resulted in them lifting. Fortunately a wet cocktail stick was sufficient to scrape the overspray off.
The 'cable' is clear fishing line painted black. The tension on the blue one could be better but it will do.
Thanks to all who have joined me on the ride and your support, it's what makes this such a great forum.
More pics will appear in the completed section soon.
ATB.
