I’m building a Tornado and got a set of PE parts that include the mirrors for the cockpit but I’m not shure what to do as I fear that using super-glue will fog it.
Any advice?
THere’s a couple of ways to attach hese mirrors without using CA.
My favorite is semi-dried future (or kleer, which it is that is close to the clear acryllic floor
sealer) - a thin coat will get tacky very quickly
White glue or similar
Thanks, I’ll try the future thing first.
you can glue first with CA a piece of sprue and then glue this with liquid glue!
Also, to add realism to my mirrors, I cover one side with Bare Metal Foil (or kitchen foil will do) to give it some reflectivity. Just made sure you don’t get it wrinkled.

Sounds good for other scales. this thing is 1/72 so the mirrors are too small. I used markers (silver and black) to paint them and got a good result.
THANK YOU wibhi2! [angel] Future worked great. It get’s stiky in seconds [:)]
You can always use white glue (like Elmer’s) with PE parts too and there is no problem with fogging.
