Would you be so kind to explain, how do you apply white glue (masking) so straight? Your method looks like a perfect way to mask canopies and windscreens with no cutting etc.

I thin it down heavily with acrylic thinner and apply it with a toothpick. Just tipping it onto the canopy surface. Capillary action does the rest and sucks it into the corners and edges. Let it dry for a day before spraying on. Peels off mostly in one go and one piece.

Of course I wouldn't use this method when spraying enamels. They eat up the mask and the canopy.

Album info
Mixed bag of a kit. Very inspiring subject, but despite the glowing reviews the thing annoyed me more and more with every step of the build. Warped fuselage, some erratic engineering, very narrow to no tolerance in the molds, huge ejectorpinmarks, pseudofancy molding with injectionstubs on the bonding surfaces. Seems clever at first but loses it's cleverness quickly because you have to cleanup twice: the usual seam AND the spruestub on the bonding surface. I know it's just me but in the end I was reliefed to get the thing off the bench.
