lmagna Posted September 24, 2018 Share #368 Posted September 24, 2018 I had the same question all of the aircraft that came with the Indianapolis and that I bought separately were also clear plastic. Looking at what was carried by American ships and comparing them with the Walrus it is clear that the British had a better plane in many ways. mtaylor, Old Collingwood, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDW Posted September 24, 2018 Share #370 Posted September 24, 2018 It's debatable whether it's a good idea, but I believe the reason clear plastic is used on the planes is to allow you to mask the paint job so you end up with clear canopies. This way, they don't have to go through the added expense of making separate molds for clear canopies.

RGL Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share #376 Posted September 24, 2018 I seriously never want to see one again. For some reason it didn’t like CA (I think it’s gone off), V1 got knocked off the desk by (I suspect) the wife turning off a lamp, smashed to bits, V2 would just not stick and V3 is barely satisfactory. The Pontos set does not include ships habits and the kit ones are horrible.

Canute Posted September 24, 2018 Share #378 Posted September 24, 2018 Carl, that clear plastic used for the aircraft doesn't play well with our plastic cements. Don't know why.
