Hasegawa 1/48 T-bolt canopy

[Spitfires Forever]

Hello all,

I'm getting the mood to build a Thunderbolt but after looking over my Hase kit I find that in comparison to my Tamiya kit the Hase canopy for the bubble top looks squashed, much lower in profile, and it just basically doesn't look right. I have seen plenty of bubble tops and have even sat in the cockpit of a D-30 and the canopy in my kit sure doesn't look like and real canopy. Is the Squadron vacu-form canopy the exact copy? I have noticed over the years that the canopies from Squadron tend to be no improvement shape wise. The other problem is that prop, just not right, reminds me of the prop in the Minicraft F4U-4 kit, kind of warped, but I can fix that one easily. Anyway, an suggestions for a good canopy replacement, the Hase canopy is just killing me, can't force myself to put it on the kit.

Cheers
