mongo Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I have some old Classic Airframes and MPM kits that came with vacuformed canopies. Whatever plastic they used has yellowed in the intervening years. I want to try to replace them with my own vacuformed parts. Does anybody here vacuform their own canopies? What plastic do you use. What thickness? Where do you get your plastic stock to use? Thanks for any insight you can offer! Mongo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mongo Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Thanks for the link and the recommendation for the material. Does this stuff yellow like the original kit canopies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
