I've got to see how you designed and made that canopy! I think I'll be doing something like that on my Spitfire and Mustang. Actually, I think it would look good on all my planes. What material did you use?

First tape brothers order came in today!

Nic,

Is this vinyl tape or carton sealing tape?

Not yet, trying to figure out when I can do it this week.

It's flat thin plastic that was the packaging for the new condenser mic I bought (expect high quality audio in my videos now!) 2 liter soda bottle plastic will work too. I'll have the cockpit in the plans for sure

Carton sealing. It's the 2mil 2 inch 110 yard rolls. A steal at 3 something each.

My advice if you're gonna cut out shapes, get wax paper for easier transfer.

Alright. I'll be patient.

I purchased the same stuff from TapeBrothers. What do you use the wax paper for?
