Mark M Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 ok a quick update, im still going for 4pm ish, the hawk needs more filler than plastic, wing fit is attrocious. im going to try somthing for the first time, ive dipped the canopy in clear (ok i dropped it in the bottle) so when its dry im going to mask it and glue with cyno and with luck it wont fog, im still not sure which scheem to go for but at the moment for ease she looking red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 i think ive got away with it, first coat of paint is on, but it will need a few so of the different coloured plastic and filler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) and glue with cyno and with luck it wont fog,] Best thing then is to try to get the fit that good that it will stay in place without glueing. Whenever I can,I don't glue the clear parts. Edited June 16, 2010 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifer54 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Best thing then is to try to get the fit that good that it will stay in place without gluing.Whenever I can,I don't glue the clear parts. I usually use Kristal Klear- no fogging, dries clear, takes paint. problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebos Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 If the fit is quite snug you could probably get away with tacking it on with more klear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
