| Sweet! If Adolf had a supply of these, German, would be the language of the land, rather than Mexican! |

| Yes, I use a Badger 150 with a fine tip, and Tamiya paint. The Me 262 paint scheme is an example of why I especially like building and painting Axis aircraft. |

The hardest part was lining up and gluing the wings to the fuselage. |

I found a 1/24th sheet with the Mickey Mouse and other JG emblems on it by Mike Grant Design. I've tried to get in touch with him to see if I can purchae the shee. Does anyone know of him or have done business with him? |

After a couple of tries I finally got a good canopy. Problems were leaving it under the heat too long or using the wrong kind of plastic, All pilot errors. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
