How to Mask and Paint a Canopy - Scale Modelling

[@jlpytlewski]

This is exactly the way I mask canopies...good job!

[@joseluiscastanorestrepo]

Great job, makes masking easier, one of the trickiest parts of putting together a model

[@RimsModels]

Please can I ask what make and model is your hobby knife; looks superb

[@RJ56D]

Thanks for the video! I got some new tips. Good work!

[@ScaleModellingVideos]

Your welcome. Always glad to help someone learn new things.

[@harryainsworth6923]

great video man, I like to scrap the edges after spraying with a toothpick, sharpens it up some,, that p-38 (i think?) looks great in OD

[@ScaleModellingVideos]

Thanks for the feedback mate. Appreciate it

Nice video!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks mate.

I’m working on the Revell Memphis Bell it does not have the raise canopy what the best way to mask it because the only way I see liquid mask 🤷 I’m stumped

[@markforster6457]

10:40 - May I ask why you gloss-coated and matte-coated? Because of decals? Thanks and thanks for your videos!

[@asdf9890]

I’m by no means experienced, but a gloss prior to placing decals helps avoid silvering by smoothing the surface. Then matte helps to hide the edges, seal in the decal, and more closely match the flat military color of the planes. Not sure I’d bother with gloss under matte just on the canopy though.

How does the blade not scratch the canopy or chip it? Thanks!!

[@ScaleModellingVideos]

You need to find the correct pressure to apply. This comes with time and experience. Always use a new blade and practice on a spare piece first.

[@amaurythewarrior]

why not put the gloss coat before masking? wouldn't that protect it a bit against scratching? i haven't tried it myself but i assume worst case scenario you can easily sand the raised areas a bit if the paint doesn't stick

[@ScaleModellingVideos]

I can't remember if I said that in the video. But yes you can gloss coat it by dipping it in future or pledge and let that dry for a day before Masking.

[@jamiesale9460]

Just fine!

[@bollomator]

Using the thumb to trigger airbrush was definitely something I haven't seen before....lol

[@ScaleModellingVideos]

Yeah I guess everyonez different. I feel more control with the thumb

[@coreyayers4600]

What does the dipping in Pledge do?

[@ScaleModellingVideos]

It protects the canopy fron future scratching. It also helps gloss it up.

@@michalgajdos7575 Its unavailable in Australia, however I got it off ebay.

[@amaurythewarrior]

@@michalgajdos7575 i'm pretty sure you get the exact same product sold under other names and brands. klear, klir, future in the UK? (or is that a brand)

[@bobgibb2781]

Nah . Peel it off , stick on a smooth plastic surface , cut out with a steel rule and stick the pieces back on .

[@SDZm1y]

у такого метода есть недостаток. Сдвижные части фонаря любят делать хрусть в самой верхней части

[@petemelanyevans9162]

Nothing special ..it's the normal way to do any canopy... though you cannot just pull the mask off after a clear coat ...it will rip the paint off ..you first need to re blade the edges first . Why a 3rd clear coat on the inside ? You dunked it twice ....
