About product

Rob Taurus 1:48 J2M3 Raiden — a vacuum-formed canopy

This is a standalone accessory, not a model of an aircraft. The set from the Czech maker Rob Taurus contains a vacuum-formed (heat-formed) clear canopy in 1:48 scale for the J2M3 Raiden fighter. It serves as a replacement for the plastic canopy from the base kit, being thinner, cleaner in shape and more transparent.

The real subject

The J2M Raiden was a Japanese interceptor of the Second World War period, developed for a fast climb and for fighting bombers. It was notable for its robust construction and its powerful radial engine. The J2M3 version was among the most widely produced and carried heavy cannon armament.

Usage tips

Cut the part carefully out of its backing film with a sharp knife and sand the edges down. For maximum transparency it helps to dip it in a clear gloss varnish. Mask the frames with narrow masking tape. The thin material makes it possible to assemble the cockpit in either the open or the closed position.

Who it is for

  • Modelers building the J2M3 Raiden in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone after better transparency and shape for the canopy
  • Those who want an open cockpit with a view of the interior
  • More advanced builders used to working with vacuum-formed parts

The accessory is supplied unpainted. The base model, the glue and the paints are not included in the package.
