Hoops Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Something to watch out for: the back part of the aft "canopy" is molded as part of the fuselage! If you want to have the canopies open, you'll need to do something really creative, if you're going to leave it closed, you'll need to at least scribe a panel line there.

Laurent Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 MAF ? Do decals exist ? Isn't the canopy very thick ? Perhaps a vacuform replacement exists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragan_mig31 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 the canopy is too thick bit i will use it after polishing and dipping it in future. Laurent the decals are custom made for me.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragan_mig31 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 today i have manage to scratchbuild the insturment panels and add the rails of the throttle.tommotorw i will add more details and hopefully paint the cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 MAF ? Do decals exist ?Isn't the canopy very thick ? Perhaps a vacuform replacement exists. Pavla has a vac form canopy, but it does not fix the problem of the canopy being too short. It is only a vac of the kit canopy if I remember right.

dragan_mig31 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 i have just noticed that the canopy is wrong.i know about its shortened length but that i s no problem becouse i will make this frogfoot with closed canopy.the problem i noticed is that on the back of the second cockpit there shuold be a metal casing and frame but the kit provides a window instead.
