Thanks Terry but I dont understand how to make it from masking tape?

Wurger · Jul 22, 2011

Just you need to cut off a narrow stripe of the masking tape. For instance the width of 2mm. 1mm is for sticking to the cockpit conopy and 1mm for attaching to the fuselage.

B-17engineer · Jul 22, 2011

Oh, alright thanks Wojtek!

Wurger · Jul 22, 2011

No problem. However check fitting of the conopy to the fuselage firstly. Any picture would be welcome here.

B-17engineer · Jul 22, 2011

Okay Wojtek, I'll have one a bit later because I have to go for a bit.

Wurger · Jul 22, 2011

Take your time Harry. It's not a bakery.

This is not a very good example H, but the rear of this (very dusty!) JU88 canopy was home-moulded, and the frames are made from narrow strips of painted tape, in this instance, ordinary clear 'Sellotape'. The 'frame' where the canopy joins the fuselage is also painted tape.

B-17engineer · Jul 22, 2011

Some quick one I'll try better later but the canopy fit is very good.

Airframes · Jul 22, 2011

Certainly looks like a good fit H. I think the original idea of a few very small spots of either superglue or poly cement, followed by sealing with PVA should do the trick.

B-17engineer · Jul 22, 2011

Thanks Terry! I'll mask the other side later today and possibly this weekend attach it.

Crimea_River · Jul 22, 2011

Coming along nicely. That's going to be a beauty.

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Jul 22, 2011

Harrison, she's looking very sharp sir. Keep up the good work.

B-17engineer · Jul 22, 2011

Appreciate it guys!

T Bolt · Jul 23, 2011

The canopy is looking real good Harrison.

B-17engineer · Jul 23, 2011

Progress is probably done for about 2 and a half weeks...on tuesday I'll be catching a flight to Florida from there I'll be on a cruise to mexico costa rica and panama....my camera got packed up already so even if any progress is made I can't post it...

Thanks Glenn!

I agree with that H.

This is coming along very nicely Harrison, you're doing a great job...............maybe you should take a break..........a cruise should be good.

Have a great vacation mate and try not to eat too many Tacos or Enchiladas.

May be a while before I get any modeling done..

At football as I stated in the "what annoyed you today" thread I fracture my ankle, my back room is a death trap already so any hope of getting to the workbench is gone....could take 6 to 7 weeks to heal, possibly even more....

treyzx10r · Aug 13, 2011

Harrison the D0 is looking great !Sorry to hear about the ankle hope you heal up fast, looking forward to seeing more of this excellent build

Airframes · Aug 13, 2011

At least it's a good excuse to sit down - at the work bench, once you've got somebody to clear a path !
Hope it heals quick H - I know what it feels like !
