These Go To Eleven How Much More Black...?
Thanks guys! The black came out pretty well and final assembly is underway. The kit glass does not fit the shape of the roof, so I made my own. Using some slick card stock, I made a couple templates by tracing the window opening and slightly enlarging the pattern,
I stuck the template to some blue painters tape, the slick side of the card stock helps the tape release and cut around the template with an X-Acto. I then stuck the tape templates to my clear sheet styrene, I like the thin .005 stuff for the clarity and scale thickness.
Using some sharp scissors, I cut around the tape.
You want to use the low tack tape or getting the tape off the glass can be difficult. The glass was installed using 3M Quick Dry Adhesive and a bit if clear Scotch tape, the tape helps place the glass so you can glue it.
Final assembly photos soon, waiting on glue to set. Stay tuned!
