About product

P-51B/C Mustang Birdcage canopy 1:48 (Eduard)

This product is not an aircraft model but a detail accessory (an aftermarket set) in 1:48 scale from Eduard. It offers a replacement canopy of the early framed type, the birdcage, for a kit of the North American P-51 B/C Mustang fighter. Without the base kit of the aircraft you cannot use it.

What a birdcage canopy is

The early P-51B and P-51C versions of the Mustang were originally given a heavily framed canopy bulged out to the sides, nicknamed the birdcage for its many frames. Only later was it replaced on many machines by a frameless bulged cover (the Malcolm hood), and on the later versions by a teardrop canopy. This set makes it possible to build the early form of the B/C Mustang with a faithful framed canopy and a cleanly shaped clear part.

Fitting and painting tips

Glue the clear canopy with glue intended for clear parts or with a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue, so that it does not fog. The frames are best created by masking and spraying with an airbrush. If the set contains 3D-printed parts, separate them carefully from the print supports, clean the cuts up and glue them with cyanoacrylate; protect your airways while sanding. Finish and paint the interior of the cockpit before fitting the canopy.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the P-51B/C Mustang in 1:48 scale
  • Those after a faithful early form of the Mustang with a framed canopy
  • Builders who want to raise the detail of the cockpit

FAQ

No. It is a detail accessory, a replacement canopy. To build it you need the base plastic kit of the P-51B/C aircraft, which is not included in the package.

It is the nickname of the early, heavily framed and bulged canopy of the first P-51B/C Mustangs. With its many frames it resembled a bird cage.

Use glue intended for clear parts or only a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue. The frames are created by masking and spraying with an airbrush.
