Excellent tips that solve questions I have had regarding attaching canopies and getting a more realistic look. Especially liked diluting the white glue to fill gaps.

Terrific video. Always like to learn something new. For me to prevent the plastic of the canopy from clouding I coat it with floor wax.

Great tip. Currently building a 1978 Airfix Hurricane Mk1....big gap at front of canopy-problem solved!

Thanks for the video!. U was getting a bit nervous thinking the pva would really work!.

[@Diabolik771]

Here's what I heard. Dip the canopy in floor wax 2 coats then you can use Tamiya extra thin. Fogging can then be removed with baby oil. Thoughts? I got this from watching model car videos.

Can I use some Elmer’s Glue?

[@scalemodelmania]

Yeah it should work. Just allow longer drying time mate

[@Wildboy789789]

Elmer's glue is PVA glue... wood glue is PVA glue with saw dust... the main glues are PVA glue, superglue, and epoxy resin, plastic glue is more of a chemical weld

I Am Having trouble figuring out to successfully glue the propeller to the tiny Pin that sticks out from the engine. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? (Ideally i'd like my Prop to spin)

[@Wildboy789789]

It's only going to spin if the pin spins, if you glue it... if its plastic to plastic you want plastic glue, it melts to 1 peice, if its plastic to metal epoxy is the best... if the pin doesnt spin, the only way to make it spin is to drill thru the propeller, run the pin thru the propeller, and cap the pin so it doesnt fall off :) good luck boss, I just bought a mitsubishi model aircraft today and a toyota trueno model car
