| ****Finished Kenneth Walsh, F4U-4 BuNo: 80879, White 13, Okinawa 1945.... 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.... Pics soon, if I can get the blasted batteries to work....

| 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? |
