Stealthman Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I heard a while back that someone was doing a replacement Vac form Canopy with a mask set for Trumpeters TU22M3, but i've never seen it? Does anybody know if it was produced, and if so where can I find one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yes, that is true. Canopy plus some other goodies should be out this year. When exactly, that's another question. I've seen the canopy (master, IIRC), so it's not a mere rumour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digit Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Interesting. I recall another master few years ago but the product never appeared. I hope this one makes it. So who is the producer anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hopefully he'll find this thread and can give you the answer himself. I'd rather not talk about other people's businesses and reveal any industrial secrets. 😀 I'll notify him about this thread in case he hasn't seen it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Master for a clear resin windscreen (among other bits) is done, it's just a matter of when it enters production. I believe there are some logistical issues at play - co-ordinating a couple of subs for different items - but hopefully all the Backfire bits will be out soon. I'm as anxious as anyone.

Tomcatfreak Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Whats wrong with the canopy??? <_< Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Whats wrong with the canopy??? <_</> Not really the 'canopy' - but the windscreen.... The bottom edge - where the windscreen meets the rear frame - is horizontal in the kit, whereas it should curve upwards. I disguised mine by painting the curve, but a better solution is a new windscreen. Note the bit next to the map resting on the coaming. You can see what it should look like in this photo I took of a Tu-22M0 in Kiev.... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthman Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Who is it that is actually producing the resin canopy and bits? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
