Looking good.

Looking good.  The glass looks really nice.  Good job on it.  I'm looking forward to seeing how the screen comes out.

Merry Christmas.

May be slowing down for the week . I hope everyone Happy Christmas

Also started the side vents. I'm cutting them out , will be nstalling screen .

I took some photos of the bottom and side door glass after Polishing from 320 to 12000 wet sand , then switch to toothpaste to rub out any micro scratches . Last step used one coat of future .

It came came out looking good 

I did not get a good picture ,is this what you are talking about .AP ME

before you close it in,   did you know that the air craft c/b panel was on the roof between the 2 drivers seats...

I have the cockpit all weathered and sealed . I used MM acrylic Flat clear

Thank you  mustang1989

The bottom glass section was not formed good . I  sanded the glass for a better fit . I'm working on re polishing them . They are still cloudy

Just wondering why they look cloudy?

How tha hek did I miss this????? This is awesome!!!!

thanks . heavyarty

I really wished I could finish it before Christmas , just   not  possible .

Rick

Yes, I would keep polishing them with sucessively finer grits of wet/dry paper.  They I would move to plastic polish and finish by coating them in Future.  They should be crystal clear.

Need some advice here on these bottom windows .

I scuff them up little bit and started to polished them back just a bit .

What do you all think . More polishing ?

Are just right ?

thank you Raven and HeavyArty

I agree.  This is turning out to be one very good looking build.

Looks like it is coming along well.  The top windows look good enough.  They never fit perfectly right.  The color looks great.

Well  , I been working alot here lately . Not much time on the model . Life of a heating service tech .

I'm just  going face it , there is no way this Huey will be finished my Christmas . i will just keep working away .

I'm working on the glass section. I'm don't like how they fit . . I just going to do the best I can .  

opps
