Response to Very nice 109
The canopy framing just about drove me nuts! I used Tamiya tape measured and cut in strips to lay down between the window frames.I grabbed a brand new No.11 blade to slice away the bits of tape that weren't needed. The bloody bits of tape kept moving around under my fingers; that Tamiya tape is nice and thin but because of its low tack it'll squiggle around. Good thing that Hobby Boss canopy is nice and thick - it could take the manhandling and pressure of the blade as I bore down on it. This would have been a nightmare with a vac canopy! Thanks for the comments!

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature WWI Aircraft Kits.

  1. This Group Build will run until 31 December, 2011.

  2. Build as many kits as you like.

  3. Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

  4. Any markings are acceptable.

  5. Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
