1/32 scale airplanes

Posted by Anonymous on Friday, February 18, 2005 5:17 PM

I recently got back into building models. I am working on a Tam 1/32 scale F4 Phantom II. I am really enjoying the rebirth of sorts. Any tips I can learn from you fellow modelers will be very helpful to this old timer. Here's a question for you modelers. Does anyone remember the kits produced by Marcos Minitures? Years ago I purchased a 1/32 B-25 H/J. The kit is a pretty nice kit, still unbuilt and in the box. I did peek at it and thats how I learned about the vacuformed canopy. The quality of this canopy is not very good. Thick and kind of hazy. Has anyone ever heard of an aftermarket company offering a new clear verson for this kit? By the way, I am really enjoying all the photos shown in the diferent ares of the forms.

Welcome to the FSM Forums Sign - Welcome [#welcome]

. Try dipping the canopy in some Future. You may be pleasantly surprized at the improved appearance.

Welcome to FSM!
Can't help you with the 1/32 B-25 canopy, but Rick's advice about dipping it Future sounds good.
