Tony T Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) 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. Tony .

vince14 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 These look excellent - any chance of a replacement canopy for the Trumpeter MiG-17? The kit one is awful... thierry laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 So, the Lightning canopy interests me a lot…….how will it fit the Echelon Lightning is the huge question? Any thoughts Ali? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. chezzie, thierry laurent, Derek B and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

ScottsGT Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 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.

blackbetty Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 ...and for a Su27 canopy, zactomans has been oop for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconspit Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 …yep… A-7 canopy would be marvelous… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 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. reconspit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
