I'm having trouble with the canopy, the candy plastic is clouding in the oven, I suspect the plastic may be too thick. I'll keep trying. Everything else is going OK. I now start papering.

Nice looking build so far, Jerry. I always thought the 262 looked like a shark. It must have been quite an eye opener for the allied pilots when they first encountered them in the air.

The clouding may be from the type of plastic you are using. I have had similar problems. The clear plastic for some candy boxes and toys works well. Check out Mike Stuart's free-flight webisite. He is in the UK,try a google search. He explains canopy making.

I'm sure you are right about the clouding, and I'm also having problems with the the sides being to thin. I think I'm allowing the plastic getting too hot. I'm glad the, Heinkel came out perfect the first time so I know it can be done. I'm just going to keep experimenting until I get it right, meanwhile the candy is very enjoyable.
