Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) Finally the Vacu-formed 1/32nd scale Replacement canopy for the 1/32nd scale AH-1G Revell/ Monogram kits are being released. The canopies are now on their way to the USA. I am accepting orders at this time. They were formed by Falcon Canopies from New Zealand and mastered by Dave Lockead from Kiwi Resin. Now it will be possible to add a canopy to your big scale Cobra that has the proper bulges, correct framework, and is realistically thin and crystal clear. This is a limited edition of 400. I’m not sure if there will be a second pressing. Get yours while they last. Ask the Chief Snake (Chris Miller of Cobra Company) what he thought of them. Cost will be $7.00 US each plus shipping. Domestic US & APO/FPO shipments: The cockpits will now be shipped by First Class Mail. The postage & handling charge will remain $4 for any quantity up to a quantity of 10 then $7. Priority Mail can be specified for any order. The charge for Priority Mail will be $7 for any order. International shipments: Cockpits will be charged the First Class Mail International rate plus US$1, with a minimum of US$5. Please inquire directly at fwernerjr@comcast.net for the charge for your order. Each canopy will be securely packed in a corrugated box to ensure it arrives safely. If you are using PayPal, log in, select send money, my address is fwernerjr@comcast.net Send the required amount. If you have a question email me at the same email and we can discuss it. I'll send the canopies when they arrive. I also take checks and money orders. Cash is okay but not preferred. Floyd Edited August 29, 2007 by Floyd S.

petebuilt Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Floyd, Order placed, thanks! Now that you've had such "smashing success" with the 1/32 AH-1G, would you consider doing a 1/35 canopy for the Academy AH-1W? As Froghorn Leghorn would say, "That was a joke son, that was just a joke". (kind of) Pete Brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperCobra Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Floyd,Order placed, thanks! Now that you've had such "smashing success" with the 1/32 AH-1G, would you consider doing a 1/35 canopy for the Academy AH-1W? As Froghorn Leghorn would say, "That was a joke son, that was just a joke". (kind of) Pete Brown Funny, I was wondering if it would fit on a W. We just saw a 1/35 W nose spliced onto a 1/32 G. I wonder if the canopies are close enough to the same size. Real life I think the G, J, T, and W (except for NTS) canopies are the same. Did the G glass buldge a little more?

Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Here are the links for the photos. I tried to post them here but for some reason the ARC won't let me post JPEGs. Unable to upload files with that extension.
