Thanks, Gary. I just heard back from Chris Loney with that same info.

Now, do I order them, go to the post office, get a money ordrer, etc. or do I put on the big boy panties, put a new blade in the scapel, grab some bandaids and have at it?

You're welcome Lyle. I say give 'em a try. They will make the job so much easier. Just be sure to dip the mask piece into some soapy water before placing it on the canopy. It can then be moved into position, patted down and any air bubbles "eased over" to the edges. They can also be slightly stretched (I've used a rounded toothpick to sort of push them over) if you need it just a tad closer to the canopy frame. Burnish the edges with a tool before painting, and carefully lift at a corner with a knife point or pick when done to reveal your nice, neat work. The F-106 is a good one to try an EZ mask, not much there to deal with. :wink:

Looking great Lyle! I've always wanted one of these to go with my F-102.

I think I’m done with this piece...just a weird arrangement on the fuselage and wing.

Naw, just paint ‘em, then go over the panes with some clear paint. Works every time!
