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. |

| James: Would you please enter "Grumman J2F-4" into the Scratch built area. Thanks a bunch. (And Thanks for maintaining one of the friendliest site on the Web!) |

| John, the Duck was one of the first SAR capable A/C and this shot is showing where the soggy guys would get stored on the way back. Access to the bilges was through the gunner's cockpit via a fold-up seat and fold-away ladder. If you will notice, in my original post, they had nice windows on either side to rubberneck while on the way back. The Duck was also capable of Carrier operations, although with a main gear tread of under 8ft, catching the wire had to be close to the ultimate thrill. [Seawings.co.uk] has some good walk-around information. |

| Good Lord! The original mock up of the J2F! Its a wonder the photo survives.
The intrinsic values of "Fifty Shades of Gray"? At my age that's a discussion of hair color. |

| Great picture. Is there a story with it? |

| Remarkable. What, pray tell, is the function of the two gents sitting in the bilge? |

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. |

| I do remember this one, but it was after the single digit period John O referred to. |

| rayl, this really wakes up neurons. I think I actually built this as a kidling. What wonderful nostalgia . Thanks for the flashback! |

Or, like this one? I acquired these from the Hobby SHop that I grew up with. 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. |

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? |
