FYI, after sanding my car headlight to get them clear i have used this stuff on the and it comes out great, it is a lot of work but worth it

I'm looking to get into scale model building and I've been watching a lot of tutorials. This one has genuinely blown my mind

Mother's Plastic headlight restorer works perfectly also. I had Tamiya panel line enhancer and paint seep under the tape on my 1/32nd Hasegawa P-27 bubble top canopy, I made the mistake of using thinner to clean up the mess, left everything behind and a nasty fog. The cleaner compound and a Q-tip, a little rubbing, PERFECTION! Removed everything and left a high gloss finish. Better than out of the box!

That's some pretty epic polishing music.

It is great marketing how Tamiya first totally messes up a canopy in their very expensive kit and then offers you a handful of also expensive products to fix their own error.

Very nice work my friend and very useful for me as I have just damaged a canopy on the Corsair that I am currently building and hopefully this will help it to look good again. Many thanks for sharing and have fun with your next project, Joe

excellent demonstration. nice one !

Wow, great job👍and a great tutorial! Like!

When buffing with the Dremel always use low speed or the excess heat will damage the clear part.

If you put the compound on the buffing wheel first, it keeps the splatter down a LOT. And it's more effective because you end up using more of the compound.

Thank you! Tape under tape...remarkable.

NERD MY ASS ! YOU ARE A ART-EEST ! A STYRENE ENGINEER ! GOD BLESS YOU DUDE WITH YOUR ATTENTION FOR DETAIL, KNOWLEDGE AND PATIENCE. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice, good job.

Thanks for the video.

Sweet, I'll take note

That surely looks Nice.

Superb! I recently bought a model car and the clear parts had apparently been bouncing around inside the box for so long they got scratched up. I'll be giving this method a try.

PERFECT....

Thank you for your tutorial! I'm looking for a Dremel tool suitable for modeling. What particular model do you use? Would you recommend it? Thanks again!

I made notes on this one thanks

regular toothpaste works well sanding a canopy also! Great job!

Are these Verlindon photoetched parts or Edwuard?

what kind of finish gloss...?

Cómo le ago para con seguir los modelos AKI en gto gto

You just given ZM ki45 toryu kits frosty/clear parts a temporary reprieve.Cheers.

It's a good idea to put a piece of blue tak inside the canopy so you don't break the canopy and don't sand too fast or you'll get cracks from too much heat.

Excellent video. I have a few 1:43 models and their plastic display cases have some minor scratches. Can you tell me please, if I should use only polishing compounds without using sandpaper first? Thank you.

Tamiya has good products, but the price per volume purchased is way over priced for what you get. You can get a much larger volume of automotive fine Plexiglas polishing compounds. Then just wax with a hard natural wax like Carnauba automotive paste wax (which buy the way is excellent for your regular car windows). People are paying way to much for their model building/painting supplies. I use to use Tamiya paint thinner, now I just use 30/70 alcohol H2O as a thinner and works great for my acrylic paints and you can make it for pennies. Brand names sell their proprietary thinners for their Lacquers and Enamels when you can buy a can of Lacquer thinner ad the hardware store. Also using cheap acrylic paints from Michael's and thin it with your homemade thinner, Lays down great. Buy more model kits and spend less on over priced brand named hobby products.

Yet another fantastic tutorial. Can i just ask where you get the round sanding sponges from. Thanks alot for sharing your great knowledge.

inner nerd, hi, great tutorial, can i remove glue plasti zap medium ca from the canopy with this product??

Great video! But I have to ask why there is a seam line there in the first place. It makes no sense for the mold to be split there.

Hi I am in a kinda bad situation. I got glue on my canopy for the kit I am doing and I have tried to sand it out but it got worse and looks milky and scratched. Do you have any tips on how to fix it??

I broke my canopy for my F4D1 Skyray 1/72, is there a place you might know of where I can get another one without buying the whole kit?

It is a good thing your canopy was as big as it is, otherwise when it went flying out of your fingers, you was able to find it, and not lose it to the carpet monster. I am sorry, I laughed at that, but I wasn't laughing at you but with you as you might have said a couple of cuss words when it went flying. Anyways I am going to get myself the Tamiya polish so I can get that darn seam line out of my F15 canopy. Good video, it helps me.

After using the microfiber cloth, can it be washed and reused, or do you have to discard it? Thanks. Great content!

Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. Did you wipe off and/or rinse the canopy to completely remove any leftover compound before you used the next compound, or was the next compound applied right after the previous w/o having to wipe off and/or rinse any excess from the previous compound?

do the polishing products need to be used in order? (like coarse, fine, finish) or can I simply use the finishing polisher?

I'd love to try that stuff but you can't get it around here. Not in the USA anyway that I have found.

hi! where dit it go the canopy on 4:20" man????😝 i just kidding,good job mister!!!!

the sclpel is really sharp, what brand did u use ?

Will this be good enough to polish the plastic lens on the Oculus Rift? I had insecticide stain eating away at it now it has hazy spots. Just wondering if this compound can restore the optical clarity of these lenses.

where did you buy wool wheel?

what grit did you use to sand paint models before polishing them?

what kind 1500 2000 3000 sandpaper?

Nice tutorial on this. How far did the compound get "slung" from the Dremmel? LOL

could i use a cotton swab to apply the compound in a tight area. i accidentaly got glue on a window in the nose of my b17 that i was modifying. the window is too small to use anything bigger than a cotton swab

4:03 good job lol, compound flies all over the place

Hello Where can I find wool buffing wheel ?

Where in Europa can i buy these Tamiya polishing compounds ??? Can't find Them anywhere !!!!

Subbed

What’s that scalpel blade you were using

Very nice job there with the seamline - but fuck those manufacturers who even put a seamline down the center like that - it's not modelling, it's just extra work.

gloss acrylic...?

It's almost like TAMIYA designed the mold line down the centre on purpose...

Can I use it to repair damaged eye glass???

Where to get p2000. 3000 sand paper...

can I use this thing on painted surfaces?

rpm dir dremel? great tutorial!

Or one could flip the bird at Tamiya's marketing game and say "I'm good with the seam line!" 👍 Nice work nonetheless, but looks like an expensive fix all the same! There have to be less expensive, more broadly-used plastic polishing systems out there that would work here. At least you're given an extra canopy to practice on first.

I don't think Tamiya produce that finishing compound anymore :( For over a year I have been asking their sole agent in my country and was told they ( Tamiya ) don't have stock.

course then fine...?

It pisses me off to have to buy the polishing compounds that I would generally not use or need to fix this, and will cost me about a third of the price of the kit!

Your mum says: CLEAN YOUR AIRBRUSH! 🤪

in what world is this 'easy' . I mean I'm watching a master craftsman here. With loads of talent and a bunch special equipment.

this music, omg...so annoying.

I was born with BIG mitts. I CAN NO WAY have the dexterity like this. New way ! Again, you are ELITE at what you do. I don't think something like this can be taught, you have it or you don't.
