About product

Spitfire PR Mk XIX Canopy 1:48: A Vacuum-Formed Canopy from Rob Taurus

A vacuum-formed transparent canopy for a model of the Spitfire PR Mk XIX in 1:48 scale from Rob Taurus. The open-closed version makes it possible to show the canopy open as well as closed. It is not an airplane model in its own right but an accessory intended for the Airfix kit; please check that it matches your kit before buying.

What the accessory is for

Vacuum-formed canopies tend to be markedly thinner and clearer than the original injection-molded parts, so the finished model looks more convincing and the cockpit is beautifully visible through the canopy. The open position moreover shows to advantage on the photo-reconnaissance PR Mk XIX version, an elegant Spitfire variant with the Griffon engine, which flew unarmed and relied on speed and altitude.

Usage tips

Cut the canopy out step by step with a sharp modeling knife or fine scissors and finish the edge with sandpaper. Use white glue or a special glue for clear parts; cyanoacrylate glue can fog transparent surfaces. Polish the canopy before the frames are painted and cover the framing with masks or narrow strips of masking tape.

Who the accessory is for

  • Modelers who want to give their Spitfire a thinner and clearer canopy
  • Builders of open cockpits with a worked-out interior
  • Modelers with experience of working with vacuum-formed parts
  • Collectors of British aircraft in 1:48 scale

This is an accessory for a model: the airplane kit itself is not included in the package.

FAQ

No, it is only the transparent canopy, an accessory that replaces the original part of the Airfix kit in 1:48 scale.

With white glue or a glue intended for clear parts. Cyanoacrylate glue is not recommended, as the fumes can fog a transparent part.

Step by step with a sharp modeling knife or fine scissors, leaving a small margin, and then finish the edge with sandpaper. It pays to work slowly.
