About product

Rob Taurus N1K2-J — a vacuum-formed canopy 1:72

The set contains a vacuum-formed (vacuform) clear canopy in 1:72 scale as a replacement for the plastic part supplied in the Kawanishi N1K2-J kit. It is not a model of the aircraft but a standalone accessory for raising the realism. The thin walls and the perfectly clear material rid the cockpit of the thick-glass effect and improve the view of the internal fittings. The design of the part usually allows assembly with an open cockpit.

The real subject

The Kawanishi N1K2-J Shiden-Kai was one of the most capable Japanese fighters of the closing stages of the Second World War. It grew out of a floatplane design and became a formidable opponent for Allied aircraft. The glazed cockpit with its good view is a prominent feature on a model, which a clear canopy sets off properly.

Usage tips

Cut the canopy out with a small margin and sand the edge down precisely until it seats on the fuselage. Glue it with clear glue for canopies or with a minimum of cyanoacrylate. Mask the frames carefully before spraying; the thin material holds its shape but will take only gentle pressure, so handle it with care.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want a clear, thin canopy instead of the part from the box
  • Builders planning an open cockpit with a visible interior
  • Collectors of Japanese fighters of the Second World War in 1:72

This is a modeling accessory, not a kit. Glue, paints and masks are not included in the package.

FAQ

A vacuum-formed clear canopy for an N1K2-J model. It is not a kit of the aircraft.

The canopy is in 1:72 scale.

It is cut out with a margin, the edge is sanded down until it seats and the part is glued on with clear glue for canopies.

A vacuum-formed part has thinner walls and better transparency, so the cockpit looks more realistic.
