As many of you know I have been on a quest to get Me109E canopies to make custom Me109F's. I have finally gathered all that I needed but what do I do with the Me109E's that have sacrificed so much? :roll: Well I have lots of spare parts including canopies and I wanted to share my last one I did as it cam out so well that I like the look of it better than before with the factory glass. Using Apoxie Sculpt I molded the 109G6 canopy to the 109E. It looks great though I know it is historically "fuzzy" :lol: but its better than tossing the model, or selling it for scrap :( While it was in front of me I also filled the screw holes on the bottom and replaced the damaged prop and guns. Thanks again BLACKSNAKES! Anyway thought you all my like to see it :wink:

While the canopy framing is certainly on the "thick" side, the results nevertheless look fantastic and actually more realistic than the stock canopy that came with the Bf-109E tooling :D
