F-15A Eagle Canopy


Recommended Posts

What is the correct color for the canopy frame for an F-15A in air superiority blue scheme?

Thanks for y'alls help.

Are you talking about the rusty brown or reddish phenalic that is the actual framing for the plexi or the metal portion that would be the airframe color?

Yes, the reddish color frame. Is it a dark red or reddish brown? It looks different in each picture.

Thanks.

Depending on weather conditions, age of the canopy so on. It could be a deep red brown to a faded rust Color. I even had to paint mine once for a VIP static display for some South American president and his delegation.if you leave it the natural Color just remember that this is were we mount the plexi to the metal framing, so there are hi torque screws attaching it, hardly noticeable in smaller scales But they are there, made of brass as to not affect the fluid back up compass found on the forward bow of the canopy.
