Very nice job you did! I would like to know where you got those Parafilm? Is it the same as masking tape or better?

It is not "better" than masking tape but it is "different"

Parafilm is a ... film with a parafine layer. It has great physical properties - it can be stretched 5 times it's size, sticky (due to parafine layer), thin and very very flexible. It is best used on glossy surfaces (and clean of course).

This is atually a laboratory film used to seal test tubes. Hence it can be found not only in hobby stores but in medical supply store.

IMHO, the best use for Parafilm-M is masking tha plane's canopies. I'd rather use masking tape for AFV's.

Hi Octupus:

Thanks for your comments. I am sending you the link of the Parafilm http://www.dxmarket.com/micromark/products/80806.html

I recommend it because it is better (for me) than the masking tape; it does not damage your piece of work because has not any glue, it just sticks on static and can be molded over the surface to work, is very good!!

Rodolfo

Hi Otto:

The Bosch lights are a Greif tool, this is a Mexican Company, the address is:
GREIF
Ezequiel Chavez #78
Vista Bella C.P. 54050
Edo de Mex
Mexico

Fax: 5397 9964 e-mail: [email protected]

They sell different sizes of lights, cables, plates for making bolts, chains and resin parts.
I hope this is useful
