A clear MiG-3 cockpit canopy vacuum-formed from thin film, prepared for kits by Armory in 1:72 scale. The thin wall gives finer frames and a more convincing view into the cockpit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The MiG-3 is a Soviet single-seat fighter from the beginning of the Second World War. It has a slim fuselage and long cockpit glazing divided into a fixed windscreen, a sliding center section and rear windows. The shape and thickness of the glazing are exactly what decide how a model looks, because you see inside through them.
A clear cockpit canopy vacuum-formed from thin film, prepared for MiG-3 kits by Armory in 1:72 scale. It is considerably thinner than the part from the kit, so the frames look finer and an open cockpit looks more convincing. The thin wall is also a demand on your work: the part is pliable and scratches easily, so handle it by the edges and set it down on a soft surface.
Cut the part out with a margin of a few millimeters and only then sand it down to the outline, ideally on sandpaper laid on a flat board, with short strokes and repeated dry-fitting. You can always take more off, never put it back. Use an adhesive intended for clear parts; ordinary super glue fogs a clear surface. Mask the frames before spraying and apply the paint in thin coats.
For the modeler who wants to leave the cockpit open and fit an interior into it. Cutting out and sanding call for patience and a steady hand, so the set suits a builder who has worked with clear parts before. It does not contain the kit, the paints or the glue, unless stated otherwise.
