Edgeflyer Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I am building or recovering several trad models... Keilkraft Falcon, Junior 60, KK Southerner, Buccaneer. All of them pose challenges in making acetate windows. Currently the Falcon needs glazing. I have made paper templates for the shapes of the windows, both from inside and outside the fuselage. Can others suggest whether the panels are best on the inside or outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I would put them inside for aesthetic appeal and durability in the airflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outrunner Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 My Junior 60 and Tomboy were both covered in laminating film then tissue stuck down with water based varnish. I covered over the side windows with laminating film and cut the tissue to leave the windows uncovered. Much easier than faffing around with templates cutting out bits of plastic, neater too. Still had to make a windscreen from a template though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
