Crack..

 

[Wurger]

Broken ???

 

[B-17engineer]

Its a tiny crack down the middle not broken. on the first glass pane.

 

[Wurger]

I have told you about being careful. So do you want to continue on this part or you want to use the solid one.?

 

[B-17engineer]

Depends. How long will repairing this take?

Sorry

I was removing tape and it broke

really sorry

 

[Wurger]

That's way I said longer strip.. It is not possible to repair the kind of damages to these glass parts.

 

[B-17engineer]

Lets stick with this.



I hope your not annoyed with me

 

[Wurger]

Of course I'm not. How could you think that?

However it is your first cockpit conopy damaged. I did it so many times I don't remember how many...

 

[B-17engineer]

I am not sure why I thought that. But looking at it the crack is really not that bad.

 

[Wurger]

OK. We can use that anyway.

I prepered the diagram .It may help you to understand the idea.These outlined parts of tape have to be cut off precisely and then stick to the proper window back again.

You can use a tooth pick for initial pushing.

 

[B-17engineer]

I see! thanks!

 

[Wurger]

 

[B-17engineer]

**Sigh*

Ok. I finished

 

[Wurger]

You have grasp.But these pieces of the tape aren't correct in shapes.The frame of the P-40 cockpit was made of aluminium stripes. so these had straight edges..While your frame looks very aslant.

That's way you have to use the pencil or use the black marker in order to draw the correct shapes. It is the same way like the template for jaws. But instead of printing you have to outline them wiith the pencil or marker.And then cut them off and stick to the conopy again.

Once again please.

 

[Lucky13]

Been there too H!

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok.

 

[Wurger]

Uhumm...

 

[Lucky13]

This why I use the canopy masks, pain in the cr*pper they may be, or cheating.....but at least it'll keep me out of the deep sh*t!

Keep at it H, doing good!

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks! Wojtek this will take a while.

 

[Wurger]

This why I use the canopy masks, pain in the cr*pper they may be, or cheating.....but at least it'll keep me out of the deep sh*t!

That's true Jan.These masks are very useful.Unfortunatelly not always available.

I guess the only mask that can be found by Harry is his neighbour's mask of Zorro.


No problemo . Keep working ...
