SBD-3 Dauntless Canopy Vacform (Brengun Kit)
One other little detail Brengun does well is VACFORM canopies for their models. In this case, you get two types of canopy closed or open.
Use a REALLY new #11 blade, ceramic since the old style won’t do anything but bend. Use your favorite cementing method. I use blue-light clear cement, it works great and doesn’t cloud the plastic.
I painted the canopy with acrylic, and then used a toothpick to clean up the old man brush painting squiggles… it worked great. and the new canopy was better than the two-scale feet thick model original, the better to show off the detail I could not paint into place.
Brush painting the model seemed best (for me) and I didn’t have too many problems. Glosscoat, decals, and install the prop and spinner.
Highly recommended for future surgeons, and Brengun once again succeeds! Thanks again Brengun for the review items!
