Simulating Bare Fiberglass

Simulating Bare Fiberglass by Bill Via

The following is an account of the technique I’m using to replicate the interior cockpit of the 917.

Bare styrene as it comes from Fujimi.

Creating a template for the lens cleaning tissue using Tamiya masking tape.

Transferring the template from masking tape (which cannot be removed from the tissue without damaging the tissue) to light green Post-It-Note paper…the non-sticky part.

Tissue cut to the needed shape and being applied to the part.
