Looks great so far 👍

Mr D
It's coming up clear now ... nearly there, most important is not to crack the plastic... clear is very brittle.
Nice interesting project again Lorraine, engines look great.. " Doesn't look like the safest cockpit for pilots 🫣😂"
Good luck 😺 🤞

Cristian A
Fantastic work so far, following 👍

Thank you Cristian and Mr D. The pilot may need a high-quality helmet😁

Hi Lorraine, where did you get that polishing tool from? last time I manually polished a canopy I got old in the process 😁

Lorraine Lin Author
Cristian, I started with 800-grit sanding, and then TAMIYA compound. The electric polisher was actually bought from a nail salon😜 the final magic is Pledge.

Cristian A
Thanks for the details, Tamiya compound works wonders. Looks like I need to start visiting a nail salon so I can get modeling tools 😄

Lorraine Lin Author
Have you ever tried Pledge floor care finish? Soak the canopy into Pledge for few seconds, take it out and let it dry, the effect is very great.

Cristian A
Have not tried Pledge floor care finish but I heard about it being good before, I will add it to my shopping list. Thanks for the tip 👍
Previously, I used the standard window cleaner solution with a cotton bud to remove the excess and gummy residue left behind by the liquid mask, and it worked really well.

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work so far. Lots of elbow grease.

Definitely following this new build!

I thought Pledge was discontinued?

Mr D
The pledge future is not easy to get now....there is an alternative now in a green n white bottle. Acrylic floor shine.

CaptGPF
Thanks Mr D!

I've never liked building airplanes, even though I used to build them as a child. But this one? Yeah, that really inspires me! Maybe I'll build it one day? Thanks for the great pictures and the inspiration!

Lorraine Lin Author
Liane Lonesome, Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad you like it.
I started building aircraft with full interior details last year, and I'm totally hooked! I just added Zoukei-Mura's P-51 and GWH P-40B to my ever-growing stash - really excited to start them.

Happy building, and thanks again for the encouragement!

Spanjaard
looks quite promising already

Dave
Really nice effects.

Ben M
The wood effect is great!

Alexander Grivonev
The wood grain effect is stunning 😮

Villiers de Vos
Your wood grain effects came out very nice. Painting remains better than a decal.

Predrag Ivanovic
Amazing wood effects, great work overall.

Christoph Kunz
Villiers de Vos is totaly right 👍

Cristian A
The wood effect is a brilliant idea! Well done 👍

Lorraine Lin Author

Greg Baker
What am I even looking at!? Wow.

Villiers de Vos
Very creative. Inspirational.

Cristian A
@Lorraine Lin do you have a youtube channel showing your work and build? That would be super interesting to see 😊

Lorraine Lin Author
Thank you guys!
Actually, I tried different methods like PE mask, decals, and colored pencils to create wood grain effect. Just when I was about to give up and wash off the paint, I accidentally discovered that the paint being brushed off was exactly the effect I wanted.
@Cristian A, sorry I don't have Youtube channel. I will take some more pictures to show how I it works.

Mr D
The wood Effect is very 👍👍 Good, Good technique now you have discovered it.
You will have to build a plywood fuselage Albatross now 🤣.
Looking great 😀👍
