Really nice, love the canopy sealant.
Yeah how did you accomplish this?
Many thx guys!
I made 2 sets of masks for it. Kinda like Eduard does for inner and outer canopy masks. I just used them both on the outside.
I masked the canopy with the smaller mask, sprayed a coat of clear over the edges, sprayed a coat of black primer so that’s what would be seen on the inside, sprayed a coat of radome tan around the canopy edges, applied the set of masks designed to fit the canopy, and that finished it up - all set to spray silver lacquer
When i pulled the masking some little spots of radome tan pulled up. I left them because i thought it added to the look, like the real thing john posted earlier where the sealant has faded differently or sometimes looks like it isn’t there. The black underneath helped this as you never see clear glass anywhere.
