not sure about the canopy at this point but I used warm water and soap with mine and A LOT of gentle rubbing, other than that now I want this kit (thanks another model ) lol
Great build my friend, pretty informative step by step. Bummer for the tape issue, but is barely visible. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work my friend.
Nice job sir. Interesting. I just finish same model from Revell. Different I don't have pilot in my kit, some of decals was different, and I can make decision from 2 bombs class but only one was with colour and decals scheme.
Question about the masking tape included with the kit, shaped like the glass sections. How is it applied, because it doesnt appear that i can peal them off the paper, is it a decal? template?
First of all, this is not an original Tamiya kit, but an old italeri kit, reboxed by Tamiya. Too bad about that canopy. Did you dip it in Future Klear, or something similar ? Next time, just polish the plastic, use dedicated polish or use toothpaste. Works just as well...! ;-) If you have to use Future Klear, let it dry for a LONG time. Several weeks..!! Yes, no kidding. These kind of fluids need time to fully cure. Some tape adhesives contain a substance that doesn't agree well with certain clear coats. I think you should give the following technique a try: mask off the black parts around the clear part. Do NOT mask over the decals. You will most likely pull them off, along with the tape...! First, take a small brush with short bristles and wet it with ammonia. Try to gently wipe away the foggy residue. Stay away from the decals. If ammonia does not work, try some turpentine or white spirit. If these two liquids do not take away the problem and you haven't used a clear coat on the canopy, now is the time to do so. Any type or brand might work. Apply by brush.
This is not the Italeri kit; that has separate wings, Tamiya as you can see, moulded wings to fuselage and managed to engrave the panel lines unlike the Italeri kit.
Hey bro can you please tell me where do you find this plane to buy i am from India and i have searched for it in Amazon ebay Flipkart Ali Express non of them were having it 117 night hawk is total love😍
My lord ! It would have been more interesting building the box the model came in ! Who in there right mind .wants to build that .... I am not pulling your skill or your video ...just the actual model . It's dull .
Wow! Fantastic build! Very nice work!👍😎👍
Looks awesome. Well done. Very weird about the canopy. I've never had that happen before either.
You can use q-tip damp with canola oil to remove tape residue on canopies; then wash it with kitchen soap.
thanks for the tip I will try it
RC UK Scale Models let me know if it works for you; good luck.
15:00 That piece is an infrared camera and sensor, useful for bombing at night when you can't see too much.
Excellent job.👍
Very impressive old son a true artist
fantastic build! One of my favorite aircraft. I've had the mask residue as well.
i guess it's kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream new series online?

You can polish it out with plastic polish, a few cue tips and lots of effort.
@@hubristicmystic Thanks for the info.
