Ultra lazy-man "tip" on making a smooth canopy. I took the frame from a set of masks and put it down on the windscreen area. The I used it as a positioning guide....Not perfect, but a damn sight better than I was doing on my own. Now I can move on to other things.

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
That's a hell of a good idea
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Re: Williams Brothers Curtis C-46 Commando
Its a tasty salad.
I have a silly question.
Why not paint the whole thing and then use the mask you used for positioning as a mask to paint the black windows?
Or am i missing something?

You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
