Beard Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 A friend is using the Pavla set to convert a 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire I to a PR 1C. The supplied canopy doesn't fit, despite trimming, can any-one suggest one that would fit? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) the Falcon Models 'Spitfire Special' http://www.falconmodels.co.nz/clearvax/set51.html Quote 5. Standard Spitfire PR canopy. Suggested kit: Tamiya Mk.I. The Clear-Vax canopy directly replaces the kit item. Modifications to the kit include removing all armament, and adding camera windows and various add-ons pertaining to each variant. Once again, study of references is essential. 6. Spitfire PR Ig (PR.VII). Suggested kit: Tamiya Mk.I. This canopy fits in a similar fashion to the standard type. worth getting if you plan on a few 1/48th Spits, ask in the wanted section for the one you need if you just want the one.

Beard Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thanks Troy, I have the 1/72 version and it's very nice. We'd discussed the Falcon set(s) but he's too tight to buy it. I won't put a request in the wanted section because he's too tight to buy the Falcon set. I've just had a look on e**y and found one by Jays that's designed for the Tamiya Spit. I think I'll order it for him and let him get on with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi well, I'd have not started from the Tamiya, needs some tweaks, though it does fit very well. cheers T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
