| David Duckett | 20-Nov-15 06:16 | | 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. |

| BriandKilby | 20-Nov-15 09:56 | | where do you get the pactra tape at dd? |
| David Duckett | 20-Nov-15 10:53 | | It is no longer available but I did get it from Ebay. Have you tried Ebay, Brian? You can get nearly anything. I really suggest you try it next time you need something. |
| BriandKilby | 20-Nov-15 10:59 | | yes I am accustomed to ebay. I got a p-39 and mosquito from them. |
| BriandKilby | 20-Nov-15 11:19 | | thanks david, I forget about that option sometimes. |
| David Duckett | 20-Nov-15 11:31 | | Thanks, Ray. |
| BriandKilby | 20-Nov-15 12:04 | | I admire your technique. it is truly a masterpiece on every plane and canvas. |
| David Duckett | 20-Nov-15 12:24 | | Thank you. They may not be masterpieces but if I don't try to do the best I can, why bother? |
| Creosotewind | 20-Nov-15 15:49 | | And get enjoyment doing it! |
