Bob Moore Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi all, Did this come with a clear canopy or smoked? I sure could use a clear one! Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) From what I can see from this page (a fantastic reference by the way): http://modelingmadness.com/splfeat/kr/has48d.htm It only ever came with a clear canopy, sprue Ec*.

dreammh Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Clear one. I never seen a smoked twin seater canopy. Correct me if I am wrong please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lockheed2004 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) The rerelease I picked up has the smoked canopy in it. The actual D canopy I believe is a tinted front half and clear back half. I purchased the clear sprue for my DJ from HobbyLink Japan, and that one is the clear version. Brian This link shows you what you get in each Viper kit, and V6 does include the tinted canopy F-16 in 1/48 Scale Edited September 21, 2006 by lockheed2004 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Moore Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Clear one. I never seen a smoked twin seater canopy. Correct me if I am wrong please. Well that's sorta strange, the canopy I have is smoked, light but smoked, sitting it next to several other canopies there's no doubt about it, smoked! Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Moore Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 The rerelease I picked up has the smoked canopy in it, which is incorrect. I purchased the clear sprue for my DJ, and that one is not tinted.Brian Brian, Did you puchase it directly from Hasegawa? Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dreammh Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Alright looks like I am really wrong. I do not have the V6 box which got the smoked twin canopy. I got the V5 and DJ boxes. All of them are clear canopies. Seems that V6 is the only twin seater kit with smoked canopy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Moore Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I edited my post. The DJ sprue came from HLJ. Thanks brian, that's exactly what I want to do, I'll check out HLJ Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Moore Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I edited my post. The DJ sprue came from HLJ. Brian if I may ask, how did you search/find it? Did you call or find it on thier site??? I couldn't find it. TIA Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lockheed2004 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 It was almost a year ago when I did this...... I believe there's a link on their website to order parts. You should send them I believe the kit info, and the part number you need. In this case I just asked for the clear sprue. In my request I believe I mentioned I needed the clear sprue from any B, D, or DJ kit. I do remember it ended up being $8.99 (including shipping) and I had it in about 6 weeks. Hope this helps.

PlasticWeapons Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Bob, Is that the kit I traded you for the F-8 & Harrier? I think I have a clear one with the other Ds in the stash. Let me know and I'll drive up to your place and trade again. I have another D canopy that's already been Futured and partially tinted (not smoked though). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
