Mini Hobby Models, a small company of Trumpeter had released some copies of the Academy SU-27 B and UB under the name SU-30 and variants in 1:48 scale.

Well, now I have it, and yes, it`s copy of academy. ... Not so bad, but with some stupid details like BIG line across the canopy. How can I get rid of that line?

Alot of the newer kits are coming out with seam lines on the canopies.

To get rid of it what I do is run a pieces of masking tape along each side of the seam line getting as close as you can to it.

Then start sanding the seam with 600 or 800 grit sanding stick. Gradually work your way up in grades. (1000,12000, etc) as you work your way up in grades the scratches will become less and less. If you have a polishing stick or polishing putty finish it off with that.

When you are satisfied that the seam is gone. There stil may be fine scratches left behind. Dip the canopy in Future and that should take care of the fine scratches left behind.
