    Was going to use Squadron F4U-1A/D canopy.. Well (grinding teeth) it didn't....cough...cough...fit! The Kit canopy has been painted and left on loose until I found the right one for a WWII F4U-4....

    Shame about the canopy, but it's a great looking corsair none-the-less.

    Cheers

    Beautiful job Jan!

    Yep, unfortunately that canopy is designed to fit the Otaki F4U-1 kit...can you trim it or glue and fill to fit yours? Or maybe seperate the sections and have it in open position?
