I have said this before elsewhere, but White Tac might be better as it is supposed to be non greasy, unlike Blu Tac. These days I always use the white version to hold canopies so that I can paint them.

Good call on the White Tac, but I forgot the last part after filling the canopy, put it in the freezer for a couple of hours.  Makes the Blue or White Tac go hard so you can cut against it, rather than it just twisting and moving as it does in its normal state.  Cold fingers but a better trimmed canopy.

Finally finished this old kit, it's been a bit of a struggle at times, but that's probably more my fault.  I have learned a lot coming back into this hobby so it was worth it in the end, just pop a piccy here then do the gallery thing.

Looks very nice Bob, lovely finish!  Great looking plane.

Impressive Vigilante !  ... I do like these and would love to build one someday. Just no room currently to build one.

Congratulations Bob you nailed it sir.

 

Cheers Pat

Been & had a look in the Gallery, top job, I really like the look of that. Then again, what's not to like about a well built Vigilante?
