1/48 F15c canopy

Post by Joee159 »

This is the canopy from my tamiya F15. Recently I have tried dipping the clear parts in humbrol clear gloss, it worked well on the main part but I wasn't happy with this piece. I sanded it down with 1200 grit and am not sure where to go next to get the nice clear finish back. I wondered if there was any suggestions as to how to do this, I don't have any of the compounds as this is my first aircraft for a very long time. I have heard toothpaste or car Polish can work. Any help is really appreciated thnx in advance

Thnx, I am going to try t cut car Polish on my canopy as I don't really have to to order new products but if the Polish does not work then the Ak product is definitely an option

Thnx for your reply :thumb1:
