About product

Rob Taurus 1:48 Spitfire Mk.XVI (open-closed) — 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 clear canopy in 1:48 scale for the Spitfire Mk.XVI fighter. The open-closed version makes it possible to assemble the cockpit either open or closed. The canopy is thinner and more transparent than the production plastic.

The real subject

The Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI was a late version of the famous British fighter of the end of the Second World War, closely related to the Mk.IX. Many of the machines carried a bubble canopy, which improved the pilot's view to the rear.

Usage tips

Cut the canopy out of its backing film, sand the edges down and, for maximum transparency, dip it in a clear gloss varnish. Mask the frames with narrow tape. For the open version, use the separate parts of the sliding section.

Who it is for

  • Modelers building the Spitfire Mk.XVI in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone after an open cockpit with a visible interior
  • Those who want a cleaner, more transparent canopy than plastic
  • More advanced builders used to vacuum-formed parts

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

FAQ

No. It is a standalone vacuum-formed canopy, which replaces the canopy on your own model of the Spitfire Mk.XVI.

The set makes it possible to assemble the cockpit in either the open or the closed position, as you choose.

By dipping it in a clear gloss varnish, which smooths the surface and makes it more transparent.
