Rob de Bie Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 In a few days I will do a club presentation about transparent parts / canopies, and I want to conclude with a couple of photos of great canopies. If you know a good example, could you post a link or a photo? Many thanks in advance! Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I don't know if this is of any use for you, my step by step treatment of canopy seams and polishing. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=278465&st=100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob de Bie Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 As in clear and blemish free or as in well detailed and finished? Either, I would say. Just any canopy (or transparancies) that is a joy to look at. Maybe a multi-panel German WW2 aircraft, or a perfect golden-tinted F-16 canopy. Just anything beautiful, that motivates to try to do the same. Thanks in advance! Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I already had that part covered in my presentation, and I am looking for examples of the end result. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob de Bie Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Look at the new AMK MiG-31 canopy. Thanks for the tip! I will briefly discuss 'trends' too, and internal canopy detailing is one I see more and more. This is a very nice example, and I will include it. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
