I'll take PE (or Yahu) over anything...and hand painting over most decals. I always use Testors clear glue for instrument faces...avoids any "fogging" from CA...looks like you don't have that problem! Friendly tip...after trying many CA "applicators", I found that stretched sprue works great! We have an unlimited supply too! You can stretch it as thin as ya like...I like to start with about an inch of "needle" and an inch or so of the sprue, for a "handle". As the tip builds up, just cut it off.
I have a MASH helicopter I am working on now. Getting already to do this. Is this still your favorite way to do this 3 years later? Any you are using gorilla glue, not CA glue correct? Do you use gorilla glue in place of CA on other parts of the model or just this?

Unless I'm very much mistaken, according to the Department of Weights and Measures, a dollop comes in just over a smidgen.
Thanks for the great tips.
Love the dry brushing the Raise detail
Could you use Pewter color paint

Pretty much. I prefer the Uv cure stuff for the dials
So you would do the Bondic over the gorilla glue for the glass now?@@WasatchModeler
Instead of using cyano for the dials, have you used those so called "crystal" paintings, from AMMO or AK?
Not sure which you mean. I have ak gauzy but I like the uv curing resin
Would this work on 1:6 scale panel also
Yep
Curious if you have ever used the micro mark micro punch set for doing glass dials and if so what your impressions are?
I have not yet. In smaller scale, the decals work well enough or photo etch. 1/32 is a temptation.
Do you make your own sculpting Tools
I do not
Great craftmanshio
Good job 👍
Is that a ckear coat air brush on
Yes
What Brand of paint and Brushes you use
Mostly Hobby Lobby stuff
Is that the 1/4 instrument panel from eduard? I have been looking for this kit for almost 2 years now.... looks lovely!
Sure is! Found it at a local shop. Snagged that fast!
@@WasatchModeler you are lucky!
