IPMSUpdates Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 New P-47D Thunderbolt “Bubbletop” vacuformed canopies are available from Brengun for the 1/144th scale Platz/Eduard kit.There are two (2) canopies in the package. There are no instructions, but the product is self-explanatory.The clear vacuformed plastic is thin and has very good clarity with very little distortion when looking through it.Upon closer inspection of the canopies, there is a difference in the moldings. One is for an open canopy since there is a space gap between the windscreen and canopy. The other has no space thus making it a closed canopy installation.Care must be taken when dealing with vacuformed parts. A new blade in your hobby knife will be a must when trimming away the canopy from the rest of the plastic. Light sanding will also be needed to smooth the rough edges.View the full review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
