Jeepney,

3M Magic Tape? Oh yeah.... I'll try that on my next model

Yup, Parafilm M really works like a charm!

Lipton

I have a suggestion on canopy painting that wont involve masking and cutting off masks using xacto knife....

do you have a small sheet of clear decal? or a decal you wont be using anymore? paint the decal using the exterior color of the kit. for the P-40 this would be olive drab. use airbrush with very light applications so as not to 'moisten' the decal.

then cut the decal into strips whose width is equal to the width of the frames of the canopy. then apply like an ordinary decal over the canopy frames. let dry. easy, isnt it?? :D]

however, i think this is applicable to canopies with 'greenhouse' frames only. havent tried it yet to 'blown' or 'bubble' canopies (ex F-16, F-15 or bubbletop P-47) since these are easier to mask.

another suggestion:

it would be better if you use clear decal because you can paint the interior color first (zinc-chromate green for the P-40), then overspray with the exterior color once dry. after applying the decal on the canopy, you have an added bonus: it will seems that even the frames inside the canopy are 'painted' with the interior color!

actually, you can use this technique when masking the canopy: paint the interior color first, then paint the exterior color thereafter.

for Parafilm M, cut of a small piece (about 1/2 the area of the canopy) then stretch it out. apply over the canopy, cut out areas to be painted then paint. remove by applying fresh masking tape over the Parafilm M, then remove quickly. very neat results and no paint seepage.

hope this helps!

QUOTE: Originally posted by Jeepney Happy to help bro! If you can't find the 3M brand tape there are other brands of magic tape that work just as well

Hope you can make it. I had the same thoughts about my physical well being when I first joined. But I made it through. Im sure meetings in the next few years will indeed be a family affair. You notice last meeting the guys were bringing their family along? Ill be doing that too, as soon as little Mikhaila learns how to walk and how to NOT touch models. Hehehe! We'll teach them how to make models. Theyre the next generation. Theyll be entering models in contests while we talk about the good old days. Shonen, Aaaw! Try mo, my friend. Believe me, youll love it. Lipton, Wow! That was quick. Cant wait to see the P-40. We'll take shots! Oh, by the way, Im really bringing my basic Spraywork Airbrush to the club this Sunday (I forgot it last time). Along with Bull's compressor, it can be used by any member without an airbrush. It'll be an on-site aribrush-compressor rig. We can start painting there! Bigman, CAG, Reporting for duty, sir! But first I think Ill run off to Admiral Junior's office.
