Brengun 1:144 A-4 Skyhawk vacuum-formed canopy is a clear replacement part for a kit you have already bought, not a model. A thin wall makes an open cockpit possible, one you can really see into.
Responsibility details are not available.
A clear canopy vacuum-drawn from thin film, cut for one particular kit, the Platz one. It replaces the clear part from the box, which in a scale this small is inevitably thick-walled. It is an accessory to a model, not the model itself.
The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is an American single-engine carrier attack aircraft with a delta wing. It appeared in the mid-1950s as a deliberately small, light machine whose wing did not have to fold for stowage aboard a carrier. It lasted several decades in service in both attack and training roles and saw a long line of versions that differ from one another, among other things, in exactly the shape of the canopy and the fuselage spine.
Vacuum-formed film is best separated by tracing the outline with an alcohol marker, cutting it out roughly with a margin and then gradually sanding the seating edge down on fine abrasive paper laid on glass. Test the fit dry as you go. When the surface has gone matte from handling, a brief dip in gloss clear acrylic varnish and free drying without wiping will bring the clarity back. A thin wall lets the canopy be cut and fitted slid back, which is the main reason modelers buy a vacuum-formed canopy. First, though, finish and varnish the cockpit interior; afterwards you can no longer reach it. Mask the frames with narrow strips of tape cut with a scalpel along a ruler.
This is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
