Need Pro Modeler B-26 Invader open canopy 1/48 scale
Posted by davecww1 on Thursday, July 7, 2011 6:29 PM

If anyone has this in their stash and is not going to use the open canopy I need one (The kit comes with both open and closed I am told) I have the original Monogram B-26 with closed canopy, and have the Squadron one but cutting that open and positioning at the correct angle looks to be a problem.

Thanks

The Pro Modeler Invader kit comes with the earlier style canopy that hinged at the front rather than the later "clamshell" style canopy. It also includes the later style closed clamshell canopy that comes with the B-26C. The older style positionable canopy is avaialble on the current B-26 release from Revell. 

Check out this review of the Pro Modler release.

Thanks for the information, I definately don't need the early canopy.  I'm working on a B-26 K conversion. So looks like my best chance would be to cut the Squadron vac canopy and glue it open. Wish me luck.
