One of the products that I have been looking into is Maketar masks. They have a special masking kit for canopies that fit most curves as well as masks for national insignias. They come in most scales and are made out of kabuki tape plus they have a website as well. Just look into them and I think you may be surprised.

Ayup. Dead-on the money.

I was just looking into them yesterday seems like no hobby shop in the states caries the complete line. But shipping from the UK on 5 different packs of mask came to $7 and will be here in 10 days so I'm going to be ordering from the companys website.

Liquid mask got here in the mail today.
Can’t put it off anymore.
It’s time to take another crack at that canopy.
Will report back with progress updates in the next day or two.

Thank you sir! I’ll teach out as needed and I also need to pick your brain about proper Zero colors.
