Clear parts can be a challenge sometimes but I think you got this in hand fella. Is a shim in the gap at the back the plan?

Paul, great work with the canopy. Fit tends to be a problem when aircraft have a large canopy assembly, unfortunately.
Best wishes,
Ian

Chaps, I added a thin piece of plastic strip to the rear of the canopy, 0.3 x 0.5mm. The 0.3 is the height, this I glued in steps around the back of the canopy lip, and it works .   Next will be a few more little bits and then hopefully Friday prime time |

Cheers Ian . Yes, I have these to add:  plus two Mk82 snake eyes, or two Mk 82s, or two GBU 12s, or two fuel tanks . Haven't decided on the second load yet though |

Boots, Steve, cheers mushtys . I was a tad worried about the fillet and gluing with TET, but I think it hasn't discoloured the canopy. I hope I also removed any finger prints from the inside too |

I always use TETC on my glazing.....never had any issues apart from one and that was my own fault |

Post by Marco on Oct 17, 2019 10:45:01 GMT
Again, as I said you do find a way to fix it. Looks perfect!

Boots, Marco, Cheers chaps . Boots I have used TET before, but usually before I mask and spray the glazing. This time I did it the other way round . Marco, I am so glad your confidence in building is better than my own . Todays doings, tail fins and a silly propeller set up . Why ?    The extra tail finage, which is probably the reason why this aircraft is so maneuverable .  More tomorrow fellas |
