These are the two items that you need, both available from Hobby Lobby, Dick Blic or most any art store. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 27-Mar-15 08:38 Views : 518 Now that looks like fun!! Kermit Weeks in his J2F back in 2002. They removed the tailhook and bolted up a clevis to attach the ski ropes. One of the dummies tried barefooting it later: Didn't work well. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 27-Mar-15 08:31 Views : 482 Here's the finished product. To remove the tape and masking fluid, just roll it off with your finger tips. Beats the heck out of applying and trimming little pieces of Scotch Tape to each panel. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 27-Mar-15 08:29 Views : 465 THis is what it looks like after the masking film is dry. 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. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Reference 26-Mar-15 12:48 Views : 517 After consuming many bottles of screw-top vine with the neighbors, discussing the intrinsic holistic values of "Fifty Shades of Gray" we got down to the serious business fo mocking up my new J2F Duck project. 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.

When the owner retired in the early 90's, he was going to throw them away, but I convinced himthat collectors would go nuts for them. They did and he gave me three of these diplays as a token of his appreciation. They are near & dear to me. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Reference 25-Mar-15 19:58 Views : 491 Continuing on DonC's nostalgia: Anybody else drool over one of these displays high up on the Hobby Shop wall like I did when I was of the single digit age? rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 24-Mar-15 17:20 Views : 466 With a different back ground, it sould be a Ramp shot at Edwards. Now on to the installation of the cockpit innards and finishing up the canopy. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 24-Mar-15 17:18 Views : 447 Nose Gear and doors. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 24-Mar-15 17:18 Views : 419 The Main L/G doors in place. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 24-Mar-15 17:16 Views : 458 Must get '92 done before starting other projects! These are two of the main L/G doors and the hinges that I fabricated for the Nose Gear doors. The picutres of the real thing showed that the hinges were pretty massive castings which has given me pause for quite some time. The light bulb moment came and I drilled a slightly off-center hole in some Dowel Stock, sawed off thin sections then added the attachment points.
