I have tried this method then I found some transparancies I had left over from my work days (retired). I printed out the canopy on that and it turned out great. Now I do all my glazing with transparancies. They are printable on inkjet and very shiny on one side. perfiect for the task.

Tim, that's a great idea, thanks for the tip re: printing the glazed bits on transparancy.

G1, what do you use to adhere the paper window frames to the clear "stuff"? I've tried a number of adhesives for this type of application and have had limited/marginal success.

Thanks,
Adam

Adam,

I use Testors claer parts cement. It comes in a bottle with a precise tip for application

Getter1,

Fantastic job on this one! I especially like the detail in the engine.

Thanks for sharing the build!

I'm building the Rolland right now...is it me or are the fuselage formers a might-bit too big?

Are they meant to be trimmed down?

Thank you in advance - what a spectacular plane!

[Getter1]

Wily,

The formers were a tad tight for me and everyoneelse as well :P On my last build they fit with a minimum of trimming (which I achieved with an emery board). The thicker the paper the more you'll have to trim.

Wow with new life being breathed in this thread I migth have to finish my LK color scheme build and post some pics :P I haven't finished any of the color scheme builds after completing the final prototype, got hung up with other builds and design projects :P

Thanks to everyone who downloaded and built (or building) this model

That is an awesome build Getter1. I'm note sure if I missed something, but is the model available as a download ?

[Soaring]

Absolutely madness. Fantastic as it was, but how were you able to create the super, super, tiny details? You probably have a leprechaun eh? :P

I have many techinques to handle small parts. Perhaps I need to show them in the tips and tricks section.
