The Corsair82: 82% F4U-1A Corsair

The Corsair82 : Work Continues on the Canopy 2: 46.jpg
“Airplane Plastics” make each part twice. First an part is made with a thinner or left over sheet of Plexiglas. When I advised them that the part fit, they then made the real part. This was done for both the canopy and the windscreen. The dark windscreen was the test part. You see three generations of the windscreen in this picture. To the far left the real canopy is wrapped in a plastic sheet. Both the canopy and windscreen are ¼” Plexiglas. I’m very happy with the way the whole thing came out, even though the process took almost a year and a half.
