Thanks Peter. I hope to make similiar "Help Topics" for other common questions we get in the aircraft forums like fixing seams, drybrushing, antennaes, etc. That way the answers are in one spot and you guys don't have to go searching through the forums and can look there first.

Hi Bryan

I quite agree with Peter - this is an brilliant idea and you've done a fantastic job sifting through what must be piles of stuff to compile all those posts.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of these Help Topics! :-)

Well done

Rowan

Maybe "Help Topics should have a forum of its own?
Cheers

Where is the Canopy tips?
Looked for that in the AC stuff
no luck
dont usually wander too far out of SciFi & Forums, but everybody needs how to keep their canopies sweet, so I read your thread a while back and went hunting...

I read somewhere mask the inside of the canopy as well when you paint (just in case)
THAT seemed like prudent advice to me, since undoing mistakes on clear plastic is so difficult.
That is probably in the Canopy Tips piece, but I havent found it yet

To find the Canopy Tips topic, click on forums in the left menu and then click on the Aircraft Forums. You will see the Canopy Tips topic "stickied" to stay on the top. If you click on Latest Posts, you won't see it.
