| David Duckett | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #19, Focke-Wulf Ta 152H | Build | 20-Nov-15 17:17 |  | | Views : 904 | | Elmers white glue is used to fill the small gaps as it dries clear. |
| David Duckett | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #19, Focke-Wulf Ta 152H | Build | 20-Nov-15 06:16 |  | | Views : 912 | | The canopies in Diels kits are made of light material but gain a lot of strength when glued in place. They do not have raised frame outlines and there's not a lot of excess plastic. I first trimmed the canopy to a rough fit, removing the front and back support parts. Then I taped it in place with clear tape to make sure it fits. Finally 1/16" Pactra masking tape is used to outline and the excess will be trimmed away with scissors, cutting to the outside of the tape. |

For the wing I added black to the green. And I did it before playing with the oil, too:-) |
