MikeR Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Mike, from whom is the vac-form canopy? It's from Falcon: Hannants page. It's come out rather well for a first attempt at using a vac-form canopy. My only gripe is that it's a tad too wide and it does require a bit of fettling to fit, but that's as much a skill factor than anything else! Mike.

MikeR Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Image links restored, this is the third oldest RFI I have on BM! The model is still around but has a decidedly green tinge to it as the varnish has yellowed! Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
