I have a few questions Tom. I may be getting over the fact that the louvers won't be cut and I'm ready to accept having to cut them myself to get the scale type look.
I don't know a lot about plastics but have had good success tinting canopies. Will the Sukhoi have "rails" on the canopies? I prefer a tinted vs painted canopy (haven't had good luck with the RC car tint) and I might be tinting this canopy.
Also would like to know if you have a construction manual we could preview. I know you expect the shipment late this month and I would like to start planning for the build.
