if you dont have all the fancy tools like my, you get your tape out, cover the canopy with it and use your knife to cut around the glass panes so you can pull the tape out of the part to be painted,
But modelling IS a careful job Der Adler, isn't it?
Hey man ofcourse you did the right thing. There is no way you can go wrong, even if you mess it up. Just dont get discouraged and try again. Everyones first models dont turn out the way they want them to at first, but its the experience that counts. It is a fun hobby and very rewarding when you see your final project.
Keep trying and the more you model the better you will get.
I have modeled for years and I am still not at the level that some of these guys like ndicki and vince are at. I am no where near as good yet, but it is fun and I get better each time. Thats what you got to do. Dont give up, especially before you started.
