Francis Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hello folks. Does anyone make a Erla canopy replacement for the Hasegawa Bf 109G-14 kit? I've searched here and on google but found nothing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Try Squadron. I know they sold them in the past because I bought a bunch. Sincerely, Mark LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've searched here and on google but found nothing. Thanks! Hi Francis, Looks like a few Tasman 1/32 Erla canopy for Hasegawa are available at aviationmegastore. Can’t vouch for their quality as I’ve never used a Tasman product, but they might be worth a shot. Cheers Adam LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Thanks Adam, but at $48.00 shipping to Canada, I'll pass. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapiti Kid Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Tasman, Squadron ... they're all made by Falcon LSP_K2 and Francis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Years ago I was able to buy extras from Hasegawa. I also have at vac from Tasman/Falcon. Let me check to see which canopy I have. IIRC the G-10 and K-4 kits had different spines aft of the canopy. Please send me a PM to sort out the details Francis and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I found the vac for the 109G. I sent you a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 You could also try Erla canopy from the Revell G-6 or G-10 kits. G-10 Erla Clear Sprue G-6 Clear Sprue Gazzas, LSP_K2, Kagemusha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they as thick as the Hasegawa ones? 0.040 inch. I want to detail the inside of the framing and don't want the thing to look awkwardly thick.

dodgem37 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 This is the Squadron canopy. Found on page 3 below. If you look closely you will be able to see the exterior frame is below the canopy return, allowing one to locate the tube frame in position. Page 10. This is the problem with trying to inner frame the Hasegawa canopy. The forward top aspect of the exterior frame is the same depth as the plastic, so an interior frame falls below the exterior frame.

Francis Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Wow Mark, you did an excellent job on the 109! Thanks for the tips on how you went about detailing this area. I bookmarked it and will use it as reference. Great work! dodgem37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
