Welcome, David, glad you're here. . Have you tried to mask canopies with "Bare Metal Foil"?

dia duit
Bare metal foil is a product you can get from model shops. or littlecars.com in UK do it. £5 a sheet.
Its sticky on the back, and foil on top.
Here is a link of how to use it. from the "other" site

Sometimes you'll still need thin strips of tamiya tape. But this great stuff.
Slan go foill.

I bought it at the scotnats model show. Their stand was just packed with goodies. I guess they attend most UK shows.

this is the 5th ever model and the first time im going to try spraying panel lines im nervous as hell but sure its all trial and error and first time to use tamiya acrylics which i have to say
are not as good as i taught they would be very watery and bad at adhensive but sure we will see how it turns out :-)
