Excellent work Mark, they came out nicely, I'm glad to see you managed to sort out the canopy on the F-117A

Thank you Stuart! The canopy on the F-117 is clean, but not clear. I'm just glad it's over.

Now you know why I generally freehand my canopies :lashed: I hate masking fluid and tape... Mind you, saying that I did use a eduard mask set for my F-117A, as the framing was far too pointy to freehand!

Agreed. I only mask since I airbrush over the canopy. That helps the frame to blend with the rest of the paint coat. I'm getting better with tape, but I sure miss the old Hobbyco liquid mask that went on thick, stayed in place and could stay on for extended lengths of time without sticking to the canopy or marring it in any way. For those complex canopies, it was the best!
