Selwyn Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Is it me? After many years of model building it appears that I never realised that the top of the canopy opened on "car door" tiffies. And I can't recall any built up models of this aircraft ever depicting or having this feature. Have I been missing something? Or is it just not common knowledge? see link below http://www.flightglobal.com/imagearchive/I...lleryName=Photo Archive/1939-1945&Image=FA_18514s Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was that, about 1998? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
