My little stocking filler - Revell Micro-wings Stuka!

Nice build.Good luck with the plunge moulding.You shouldn't have too much trouble making a canopy that size.Just need to experiment with different thicknesses of clear plastic and you will eventually make a good one.

Thanks!

I've had my first go at it, and this is the result of my second attempt. I think I can make a better one with a tighter die, so that the plastic is pulled closer to the sides of the mould to pick up the shape detail I've put there, but this is VERY encouraging!

Superb, haven're seen the micro wings series, I really like the sweet 144th scale so will have to have a look for those. Great job on the paint.

Finished canopy. I think it looks better, but I struggled with the brush painting. I can definitely paint finer than that, but the brush tip just wasn't having it, for some reason. :mad:

I do think it looks better, though.
