A clear canopy for a model of the Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib in its early form, 1:48 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
A replacement clear canopy part for a model of the British Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib fighter-bomber in its early form. A separate canopy is bought for two reasons: either the cockpit is to be open on the finished model and visible inside, or a part has to be replaced that has been scratched, fogged or cracked while being cut off.
The Typhoon was a British single-engine fighter which in the end became famous somewhere other than expected, namely as a strike machine against ground targets. The early Mk.Ib examples had a cockpit with a fixed framed cover and a side door, while later machines exchanged it for a sliding bubble canopy with considerably better visibility. The word early in the designation refers precisely to this early form, so before buying, check which version your kit has.
The clear part is fitted right at the very end. First offer it up dry and patiently adjust the edges until it seats without pressure, because a canopy under tension will spring off in time. Glue it with an adhesive that dries clear; super glue and aggressive solvents will cloud a clear surface. Paint the frames first in the interior shade and only then with the outer coat, so that the camouflage does not show through from inside. Protect the glazing with a mask and do not touch it with your fingers, as fingerprints can no longer be removed once under varnish.
The package holds the clear canopy part. The kit, paints, glue and masks are not included, unless stated otherwise.
