| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 27-Mar-15 08:28 |  | | Views : 455 | | I don't know how everyone else does masking on their canopies, but I would like to share my method: I use "ChartPak" tape to outline the clear areas. This tape (or it's Chinese equivelent) is available at Hobby Lobby. It is a "crepe" tape that will allow it to bend around corners. I use 1/16" wide stuff. Burnish the tape down with finger pressure and trim. THe rest of the area is filled in with masking fluid, (again it's available at H/L as "Fine Line masking Pen". Apply a thin film, thicker is not better and watch for air bubbles. The pictue shows my canopy just after I applied the masking fluid. |

I need to thank all of my neighbors for posing. Now I just need to lift the loft lines and scale it down to 1/16 scale. |
