Canopy fairing

Tonight I started the canopy fairing by mixing up some micro balloons and filling the void that is formed at the front edge of the canopy where it meets the forward canopy skin.

I added some black pigment to the resin to darken the mixture, as it will be partially visible from the inside.

The process was pretty straightforward. I first cleaned the entire area with isopropyl alcohol, then applied the mixture. I smoothed the mixture using a crafting stick, and left it to set overnight.

One thought on “Canopy fairing

  1. The smoother the fairing stick the better the finish which is why I use scraps of acrylic shaped to the desired effect with a smooth sharp edge
    Good luck with the rest of the process
