Well... in my life I have lost two cockpit canopy. The first one was from my first kit ever, I buy it on excursion to Sarajevo long time ago, I think in 1974. That was the kit of SAAB J-35 Draken, scale 1/100 East Germany manufacturer VEB. I was so warmed to see what it have inside and in the bus where we was, canopy stay forever.
Few days ago I lost canopy of the Revell Me 262 night fighter... I was get it from frame to fit the rear spin cover and after that it have to be inside box again. But it is not :( Detailed search in home did not help.
:-crazy :-wall
-
This is job for a detective! It is still somewhere there! :-think :-think :-think
-
Who know... I will clean up again whole apartment but little hope :(
-
I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I have a theory that kit parts are momentarily disintegrated as soon as they touch the floor (or anything else). (I've lost husband's canopy of Japanese Zero :()
-
Maybe you are right- they find some hole and being in the moment disappear into another dimension and time.
-
Hi mates,
Yes, loss of kit parts at home is a deep mystery... :-wch :-evil
Jicehem :-wave
-
It is all the Carpet monster's fault :-wch :-wch :-wch
-
And the victim is... see bellow :(
-
Pitty... Nice work on the 262 :-/
-
How about to copy the canopy from other model?
-
Yes! But I have no other canopy to do that. Long time ago I have order from Squadron their Clear Thermaform clear sheets and copy of teh canopy was my regular way. This is very good option...
-
What is the scale?
-
Revell 1/72
-
Could it be of help if I borrow you Heller/Humbrol's canopy? Have one in my stash (just have to dig to get it...)
-
Off course- get it out :))
-
I think I have one also, unless it is gone in space
-
found it, if you want you can copy it
-
Thank you :)) Revell?
-
Thank you :))
You/re wellcome. :)
Revell?
Yes

:-tri :-tri :-tri
-
Today you/ve learned that not you but I am stupid modeler :-red :-red :-red
SORRY!
-
No problem- coffee was very delicious :)
-
Well :)) In the meantime I get new sample of kit so I could be able later to copy canopy over this. So I put it on work table and continue work on decals. Nothing special about this build but this is one of many kits I have in various stage of completing and need to finish this and wipe off some mess in my modeling space
-
Little by little,and all you will finish all them.It is essential that you started doing on the unfinished projects. :-ok :-ok
-
Thats right- step by step and all of my model pile will be completed. Here is work on landing gear and as RLM 02 I use Revell paint which look very good for this purpose.
-
:-ok Great!
-
Mate, you should cut the main landing gear bay, that is one of remarks that should be corrected on revell Me-262 kit
-
I know, you have point me that from very start and I did not do that as well I did not have idea that I will open it. As well I have one more kit, I will take attention of that. Thank you for comment :-flo
-
Oooppss- little correction- basic idea was kit with closed landing gear...
