Spitfire canopy request
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:25 am
Hi guys, it's my very first post here! 
I'm a scale modeler (1/32 was my favorite - until I was bitten by the 1/18 bug). The problem with small models is that they don't really show how massive any subject is. And when I acquired my first 1/18 - I immediately saw its potential - they can be super-detailed to one's taste. But already visually impressive because of their size, they grab attention straight away without any kind of rework). I got 2 now - a Sabre in "The Huff" markings and a Spit.
My problem - I got the Spit minus the sliding canopy. And although I'm planning to vacuform one, that will be ages away as I know next to nothing about the process, except for ideas I picked up on google. I was hoping I'd ask you guys first if anyone has a canopy to spare which I could buy - or even a vacuformed one? Or if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance, fellas!
