Oh but beware!!!!!! The devil is lurking just behind.

Not sure if anyone has come across this product?
I thought I would try it in place of polish for the canopy.
Sounds good on the label, but it going in the trash toot sweet!

Take a look at my Close Up.
See that little bit that looks like cling wrap?
Well, That is the Glass coating. As per label
I dipped in in the solution, soaked up the excess,
and let it dry for more than a couple of hours.
Attaching the kit supplied masks at top I
wanted to reposition it, and guess what?!
Up came the coating................... WTA#?
So my guess is, if I had Painted this,
removing the mask would prob remove the paint!!!?
At $14.00 AU +post I am chucking the bottle.
Don't recommend it at all.

Might post this under tools etc.
At least it didn't etch the clear canopy.

I think my bottle of Future will outlast me anyway.

Doctor, Doctor give me the news I gotta a base case of loving sprues.

-Sung to the tune of Robert Palmer's bad case of loving you.
I know corny. As per Terry I'll get me coat.

Bill. in the absence of Future in our market, I use Long Life, get it from Bunnings, works a treat.

No explanation was necessary, I was singing it before I read the explanation!

So I did a bit of fine tuning of the raydome fit.
Stuck it on, went okay. Then....................... I been looking for a Period photo
for a lonnnng time, then I spot this. Wouldn't it be nice if things were
to real scale? Look how short the overlap is on the wing top, and the kit???
The underside is nearly the same, but the other way, the actual raydome
under almost reaches the aileron...... not the kit!

However things are going together well.
Ready to paint some parts unattached.

What would a modelling life be like it everything was perfect. Rock on old bean.

Donivanp · Jun 3, 2023

So raise the right wing!

Thanks.
Wish, in one hand...
The kit part looks nothing like it except a round bulge thing.
I looked too late. Cannot remove it from the wing.

What glue did you use for sticking?

Do I see another little challenge to keep Bill occupied being set here.
