RE: CMP Zero Makeover
Thanks, but the canopy is simply cut in two and the back half is tucked under the front. Rail line is just chart tape. Simple and looks the part but it is not functional. I just couldn't add any more time or weight to this project to add function to the canopy. The canopy is the stock one just masked off and sprayed with white Klass Kote primer to add thickness. As it was I created the headrest etc. but the interior is nothing to look at really. I just wanted to have a solid bird to fly with my group and along the way experiment with a few ideas I had. Larger Zero will have working canopy faired in, as well as full cockpit detail.
Model is painted completely with Klass Kote paint, Actually white is only primer (weight savings) insigs and numbers are also painted. I have a few more things to add as far as lettering and a few additional washes. I really want this to look like a wartime zero (very dirty and flaked) not a museum piece.
