making radar scopes and such

[Captain Canada]

Hey !

I accidentally found this out while half-assing a different project. Take a radar scope, and after doing all the other paint work for the instrument panel, use a marker like a green sharpie, and colour in the scope. Then, take some white (PVA ) glue, and dab it in there. The marker bleeds into the glue, and when dry, gives a translucent kinda radar scope look !

Cool..........

I've been thinking of drilling my next one out a bit deeper, to give more depth. But then again, I don't know why I bother, as I usually just throw the rest of the cockpit together !

Excellent Toad!

I'll try that on my next jet!
