| Are these kits? If so, by whom? |

| They are listed as being Dumas kits. |

| Thank you very much. As I read through the various threads, I take notes on topics that can improve my building skills and after seeing these models all I can say is WOW. Can someone please tell me the preferred glue to use for affixing the canopy to the body? I saw it mentioned but failed to write it down and I cannot find the particular thread. I appreciate it. Again thanks. |

| David is correct, it is the Dumas 35" Waco YMF-5 by Pat Tritle. Available here. |

| Skip, I would use CA,But first I would dip the canopy in Future Floor Wax, let it dry for 24 hrs. and then glue it on. If, by some weird chance, it fogs up, dip a Q-tip in ammonia based product such as Windex and it will clear up. Do a Yahoo search for "modeling with Future Floor Wax" and you will get a page full of modelers tips on using Future.
Hope this helps. |

| I addition to the method sweetwillie described, other methods that I am away of are to use very tiny drops of CA in areas that won't fog the clear areas, or using canopy glue. If you saw someone mention that a special glue was used then it was probably canopy glue. But since Future Floor Wax is supposed to also help hide scratches I might try that method myself. |

| SteveM, Try it, you'll be impressed. |

| I just tried it as a gap filler, by mixing it with talc powder, it dries hard but sands pretty easily. I really like it! |
