The early 109 exhausts were simple, but tedious to make. Cutting out each exhaust pipe from plastic tubing, painting them and then gluing them to a piece of black painted paper, then gluing the paper to the nose took some time.

The difference is in the details....worth the effort!

I tried making pipes for my Mustang using this method...needless to say yours turned out MUCH nicer than my attempt since I ended up going with the vacu-formed exhaust provided. Love the intake also.

Jerry, do you think you or someone reading this could give us less experienced builders some pointers on taping, masking and painting canopy lines? Im pretty much horrible at this and could use a few pointers. Thanks man!

Unfortunately I am leaving for London, England in a few days and will be gone for several weeks. Besides I think DD or Poppy would be the best person for doing a tutorial on masking a canopy than myself. They both have far more experience than myself.

You can see how I do them by clicking on the build thread for my B-29.

I actually do very little masking unless canopy needs to be installed b-4 painting and then I use small peices of blue painters masking tape. I usually paint frames freehand. I do not install canopy until after I have finished painting model. Very few kits require canopy installation until final step.
