I wouldn't be so hasty. What if you were building one of these?? http://www.diseno-art.com/images/superguppy_take_off.jpg |

FWIW, I just bought a Fonderie Miniatures 6008 P-63C Kingcobra kit, which is a reissue of the Hi-Tech kit. The FM release does include two vacuum form canopies. I believe per reviews on modelingmadness, that the Hi-Tech release only included one canopy. Otherwise the same as far as I know, but also with decals for a U.S. aircraft. Just posting in case your deciding which Airacobra/Kingcobra to buy.

Beautiful work. That's one of those builds that can serve to both frustrate you about your own skills and inspire you to work harder. Darn my own skills. Must work harder! (Take note of the very detailed pictures he provides of the build. It's like a modeling master class. Amazing.) ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/icon_smile.gif)

Assuming I can finish the Fw190D-11 on the bench, Jan 1 I will be tearing the cover off the AM P-39Q. I'm on schedule so far, but any more of my self-inflicted goofs and I'll be pushing it!!!
