You know, its never dawned on me to mask using smaller pieces of tap instead of trying to cut the exact size

Nicely done, and thanks for the education.

I was noting the same thing Dave and the triangle shape also.Cheers

nice work there pal

and lower sidewindows goes also when popping the canopy the main canopy had a bad tendency to hit the vertical when ejected in flight ( depended on angle of flight so it was by manual preffered to ditch it while doing a shallow dive..the sidewindows went out on the sides..

Very spiffy Wayne.

Well the sections are rather large so I measure one side of the window and cut the triangle shape to suit that measurement...as you can see you fill in the other 'bits later!

Decided today to order the ETC bomb racks and bombs from L'Arsenal to complete this Ju88...hopefully won;t take long to ship...and arrive?

Sounds good Wayne, and if you don't mind, a further quick question for Guttorm.
When the rear canopy is jettisoned on the ground, as in a belly - landing, would I be right in thinking that each side window panel would therefore drop to the ground also, one either side of the fuselage, separated from the canopy 'dome'?

 

[Wayne Little]

I think that sounds right Terry...but we better wait for the Ju88 Master to approve that!

 

[Airframes]

Yep, and there's plenty of time, as I'm still planning which way to go about the whole project !

 

[Junkers88A1]

you have my approvel on that question and that is 100% correct as the top canopy holds the sidewindows in place with small "spikes" that goes into holes on top on the sidewindow frames..and loosely attached on the lowera parts in small U shaped parts..so when the top goes the sidewindows fall out to the sides

Be patient.....I have ordered extras too....So I will need to be patient too....

 

[Airframes]

He who is patient will eventually see doctor - old Chinese proverb !
Thanks Guttorm, that's told me everything I need to know.

 

[Lucky13]

He who waits for something good, never waits too long or how the old saying goes....

 

[Wayne Little]

Small update....My extra bit's are on the way....including a rear canopy section...gonna hold off on the masking of the Vacform one until the new one arrives...
