Sorry about not posting progress, but am having a devil of a time with the canopy. I keep having to soak it in Simple green and start over. Hopefully I will have satisfactory results with it sometime in this lifetime.
Thank you. The canopy has turned out OK. Kept using Simple Green to strip it each time I had to start over. I like Simple Green because it isn't as harmful to plastic as some chemicals are. Auto parts stores sell something called Purple Cleaner but that stuff will damage plastic as will ammonia. I don't like using brake fluid since it is a little too hard to clean up. I have an Encore kit, Airfix kit and a Revell kit with lots of options for use on the remaining Heller kits. The aforementioned kits all used the Heller molds. I like the Academy kit much better with the exception of the engine. Heller's is better and the parts are all interchangeable between the kits. I wonder if there will be any objections to manufactured gear doors on my next ones?Onto this late, but good stuff Larry! Have 4 sets of Academy and one set of Airfix markings spare if you need any more!
How did the canopy go btw? I can give you a spare Academy one (or two) if you need, and if no-one has any objections. I will be using Falcon clear vac canopies for mine.
