Folks,
I’m building the 1/48th Hasegawa Nakajima A6M2-N Rufe (Zero with floats), and I’m getting ready to paint it. I’ve masked off everything that needs masking. I usually just stuff the cockpit with paper towels before painting, but this time I want to try attaching the canopy temporarily for painting. What adhesive should I use to attempt this? I was thinking maybe Elmer’s. What do you guys think?
Elmers is what I use… and for the final placement as well… first time it can be undone with water for painting the frames same as the fuselage… second time (permanent} it dries clear… so it looks good.,…
Good luck!!!
I use tiny drops of Super glue, the canpy breaks away easily.
Thanks for the info, guys!!
Blu Tak is what I use.
The type of stuff you stick posters to walls with.

I have been wondering about this for quite some time, haven’t built a plane kit in a long long time… but I have been wondering if maybe a very very thin strip of velcro to help hold the canopy down and for easy removal, as long as you can strategically place the velcro in a location that wouldn’t be noticeable… shrug Just an idea…
elemrs glue. you can take it right off once you’re done
