Masking Canopies

So I started this series on my favorite thing to due.

It's really a demo on different canopy masking materials. This first one is using foil.

I'm going to try that foil method. Thanks

When's the next vid? I'm gonna either Tamiya tape or masking fluid on a 1/72 Harrier canopy with a very sharp blade. What would make for better results?

I was hoping to have the next one done by now but having 3 kids kinda piles you up with programs pageants and vacations around Christmas.

Anyway, If you have both masking fluid and tape use them both. Cut thin strips(@1/8") of Tamiya tape and mask all the frames then fill the center with the masking fluid. Add a piece of tape under the fluid so you have something to grab onto to remove it.

I'll try and get another vid up this weekend but no promises.

Thank you. I really wanted to get the next installment up but life has intervened. I'm not sure when I'll get too it unfortunately. :'(

I used some Parafilm M to mask a canopy the other day. It was pretty easy. That being said, I haven't painted anything yet so, I may find that it was easy because I did it wrong. :lol: anyway, I will let you know.

Ok, after a lifetime of delays I have most of this series finished. I may be adding to the series in the future but am unsure. The only thing that I can think of that I have not included is a liquid masking medium of some type. Enjoy! ;D
