Hi Guys.
Hurraaayyy. Today I received the roll of Parafilm M that I bought in Micro Mark website. It took 4 weeks since the order was placed (I live in Buenos Aires !!!)
Now IŽll push the throtle and IŽll finish the canopies of my Typhoon and a Spitfire Mk Vb Malta scheme that was started the last months of 2005.
IŽll tell you how it works.

Hi Carlos
Having used Parafilm myself I can say it's well worth the wait. I'm trying to find a magic wand to purchase right now so I'll have time to work on my kits again. :-)

This Parafilm seems to be great stuff.
Can it also be used for masking camouflage patterns?

I just ordered some Parafilm from Fisher Scientific. It's costing me $15.40 for a roll that's 2" x 250ft. I think that should do me for a few years!
I used to get it from the lab I worked in, but being on disablity makes it harder for me to get it for free any more.
