Just last week I saw somewhere around here pictures of someone's amazing job using black for canopies, but still accomplishing a jewel effect using grays and whites. Of course, now that I'm ready to paint the canopies on my current project, I can't find the pictures. Does anyone have links? Thanks! |

I am sorry I do not have any links but I do have a tip for you.
After you are done painting and coating your aicraft apply a thick layer of gloss coat on the canopy only, it will give it that "glass" effect. |

Sorry, I didn't see the original post that you're referring to. The best I can do is offer my method: link |

Thanks, everyone! I ended up doing straight black with medium grey for reflected light off the canopy. |
