| Still looks good Dan....as Terry says it will change a little...if you can replicate what you have done with the blue/white mix after the flat coat.....that will do it.

| Grrrrrr...... While I was workin on the masking of the new rails, lightly pressing etc etc, she snapped in half.... Im totally disheartened, as I do not have the $$$ to get a new canopy in such a short notice before the build ends..... Fu*k..

 | **** Dan, that's bad. Lemme look around. Try Squadron? If it was 1/48th I'd be able to bail you as I have a couple sitting around. On a second look, it's exactly where you'd paint, so if you can glue it, I think you'll be ok. Testors makes glass glue, so try that? I don't know what else to tell you. It obviously won't be strong, but it'll work.

| Cory, I think that your offer will be the best solution if you have a few of them .Also it cam be possible to get a contact with the model manufacturer and try to ask for help. On the other hand, there is always possibility of making it yourself.
