I've just now received two of the Lightning canopy sets and these are stunning (as is the armoured windshield & shrouded exhausts for the Ju 88).

 

Fantastic work Ali!  It really improves the look of the Lightning kit with the chunkier framing outlines and angles.

Thank you Tony, well I do hope to see your Lightning kits built up SOONISH…… well I know these builds all take time.

These look excellent - any chance of a replacement canopy for the Trumpeter MiG-17? The kit one is awful...

[mozart]

So, the Lightning canopy interests me a lot…….how will it fit the Echelon Lightning is the huge question? Any thoughts Ali?

Simple answer it will not fit the Echelon kit. The good news all being well I hope to produce one for the Echelon vacform in the next few months.

Great as at my over 20 years ago built old Echelon kit, canopy "has yellowed" and I still have an unassembled Echelon kit.

So much potential here for a corrected A-7 Corsair canopy as well.   I have the older Zacto vac correction, but he has discontinued it due to one reason or another.   Trumpeter really made a mess of the front end on that kit.

l second the request for the A-7 Corsair canopy. 

[blackbetty]

...and for a Su27 canopy, zactomans has been oop for ages

[reconspit]

…yep… A-7 canopy would be marvelous…

[Ali62]

A-7 canopy and upgrade is a distinct possibility, well at some point……no promises any more as to when.

Su-27 less likely as I do not have the kit, and there is the single and the two seater to consider, the other point is I have no references on the aircraft or for that matter on any modern Russian aircraft, not my area of interest or knowledge.
