Hello!

Has anyone ever tried to fit the various peel and stick mirrors on the new Academy M1151? I know they make them for Bronco and for Tamiya, and reasonably, a mirror in 1/35th should be the same...

Any insight would be appreciated before I pull the trigger on the order!

Thanks!

Hi Alex,
I don't know about the Echelon mirrors,but an alternative may be something I found at work.A roll of Mylar tape with a peel off backing.It's the width of duct tape with much less on the roll.The small roll will last me a long time so I haven't looked for it.I'm sure it can probably be found at Home Depot with tapes or maybe in plumbing.The only problem is you have to cut it to size that's not really a big deal.For a few bucks you have a large supply of mirrors.

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the heads up! I'll keep an eye out for this stuff next time I'm over at Home Depot!
