She is looking great already, Adrian.
Every part you create fits perfectly, unbelievable.

Great progress Adrian! Looking forward to all your details now that you are on a roll 🙂

@adrianstarling - this is coming together really fast for a project like this, and it's looking to have a great result. I'm really impressed with your work.

The primer really brings everything together, Adrian (@adrianstarling). I still think you need to do a short class for us in how you are able to create the complex shapes in the fuselage. Your work is so far beyond what I do with kits that it seems like magic.

Many thanks George, i really appreciate your kind words. I attach a few images to show how I am doing the mould for the canopy (made in 2 parts)and believe me it is a simple process. Firstly I take the measurement/ shapes of the front and back area of the cockpit by using low tack vinyl/decal application tape and pencil. I then put that piece of application tape on the abs/ plastic and and cut out the shape. Then I cut out the longitudinal shapes/ section and then the base. I then CA glue them together and you now have the shape you are looking for in the 3 planes. Balsa wood is cut and put into the two areas as seen in the pictures and hand sand until all areas take the form of the plastic sections. I then cover the balsa the CA liquid glue which protects the balsa and makes the surface rock hard and you have a part that you can mould and work with. I hope that gives a basic explanation!

This is such a wonderful tutorial, my friend @adrianstarling!I have a finished Hasegawa 1/72 Shin Meiwa PS-1 flying boat that is missing the canopy. I know how to make it now!
Thanks so much for sharing this info, my friend!
Looking forward to your next steps!

Splendid work Adrian.

Many thanks Erik
