Here's a preview of the Freightdog P.1154 I'm building. I'll put up more photos after the upcoming SIG newsletter is out.

Thats looking very nice Harro

Canopy looks a bit opaque though?

Really bigger than a Harrier! Very nice!

nev: I polished the canopy and that's the result. I'm trying to repair it, but haven't quite figured it out.

What did you polish it with?

Hobbes · December 14, 2009, 03:42:15 AM

I used a polishing compound meant for plexiglass. The canopy seems to be transparent resin.

I dipped the canopy in Future last night, and that clears it up, mostly.

As Harro says the full review and pics will be in the January SIG Newsletter

Its a bit late now, but if you'd given it a going over with the MasterCasters sanding sticks (the ones for clear parts) then dipped it in Future, it would probably have come up perfect.

Very nice!

I'm pleased to say that dipping in Future has pretty much restored the canopy to its original state.
