1:48 Extra EA-300L Vacu Canopy (Brengun kit)

Vacuum-formed clear canopy Extra EA-300L (1:48, Brengun)

This is a clear, vacuum-formed (vacuform) canopy from the maker Brengun. It is not a model of an aircraft but a detail accessory intended to replace or supplement the canopy during the build of the Extra EA-300L aerobatic special in 1:48 scale. Vacuum-formed parts are thin-walled and have high transparency, so the cockpit beneath them stands out better than under thicker injection-molded plastic.

Use

• A replacement for a clouded, scratched or too thick production canopy.
• It makes a realistic rendering of an open cabin and of interior details possible.
• The part is cut out with a small margin, sanded to the line and glued with a clear dispersion or super glue suitable for transparent parts.

Usage tips

Before gluing, trace the edge with a marker, trim with a sharp knife and sand wet with fine abrasive paper. The frames can be masked with tape or with pre-cut masks. For gluing, choose a glue that will not cloud the clear surface.

Who it is for

• Modelers building the 1:48 Extra EA-300L who want better quality glazing.
• Those who are planning an open cabin and an interior on view.

The accessory is supplied unpainted and without glue. Vacuum-formed parts call for careful cutting out and experience with thin-walled transparent moldings.
