Aves also has a Saftey Solvent some people use to smooth and feather the edges instead of water.
Magic Sculpt can be found at these stores.
I got mine at Tap Plastics.
Or you can get plumbers putty in 5 and 20 minute cure times.
This is a grey stick with purple center that you cut off a slice and knead till one color.
Comes in a clear tube.
Don't get the steel version it is hard as steel and smells really bad.
Should be available at the hardware store.

Eric...

Where do you have a TAP Plastic? I believe I'm just up 140 a bit from you, but the only TAP plastics I know of are in Dublin and San Leandro in the Bay Area.

Oh and Chuck, nice build. I didn't even know this kit existed.

	If you are interested in a C-57D Vac-Dome , but haven't ordered, I suggest you do it soon. We're gonna shut this down for a while (early July) & offer it again later. Also, ...we will possibly be working on Other accessories (vehicles + bottom dome / w lights(?))

	I just received my dome, and it is an outstanding product, one of the thickest pieces of vac-formed plastic I've ever seen. My order was delayed a bit due to (1) the fact that I forgot to order (duh!) when the first batch was ready, and (2) production problems with the second batch, but I was kept informed of the problem, and the part was well worth the wait. I highly recommend it to fans of the Polar Lights C-57D kit. Can't wait to see what else in the way of replacement parts and accessories these guys come up with!

	Thanx Michael! Currently on my workbench is the Colt Vickers Quad Fission Caonnon (here after - CVQFC). I started with the Seat as WayneO (my research BloodHound) found an obscure source - matching a 1948 chair (Dannish/Modelern). It's 24 inches wide which gave us a Scale to work from. Next is the Blast Shield that measures an exact 5 ft. square. The finished Cannon is the ol Lunar Model version that I used as a Study Model.
