I have read everything I can find on vac forming but I just cannot find a supplier of clear or black sheets to make a canopy from. As I live in the UK there does not appear to be anyone selling the Petg or styrene sheets here. I was going to use a pop bottle but it is just way to small for what I need to make.

Or is the material known by a different name in Europe. Please can someone point me to a supplier of say 12"x18" sheets in the UK.

Thanks in advance.

If you ask on RCflyers in the uk they will know

Hi I am new to the new r/c models . I have a carl goldberg mig 27 it is 6 ft long and 5 1/2 ft ws . it came with a K&B 91 motor. but it is made of poly stirene foam. I just came home from the hobby shop with a paint that is for painting these typs of models. well i started to spray and the foam started to disolve. if i use fiberglass the resinge want to eat the body.. ???? so what do you use to cover this type of body with john????? any help would be welcomed

Use low temperature iron on from 21st Century. This is how mine came out. I also have a couple that I painted with regular latex paint. Water it down a little and it will spread much easier.

go to lowes or home depot and Zinser primer to prime coat the plane the use pactra formula u spray paint in the color of your choice. I hope this helps
