TIPS FOR REPAINTERS AND CUSTOM GUYS

Post by thatf14guy » Tue Aug 17, 2010 1:43 pm

I don't know if anyone has started an actual tip forum, but my tip is for those who repaint their planes and sometimes get paint on the canopy. this is a tip my dad told me about and well it works pretty damn good. try using denatured alcohal, just a q tip and a dab of this stuff and your canopy looks like new! tips for taking your jsi tomcat apart, use a butter knife to seperate the fuselage and the nose section. photos will follow if needed.

Nice tip. But there is a custom tip post already.

I usually do not check on it.
