Italeri MiG 37B Ferret E (Soviet Stealth Fighter Concept) . . .
Posted by fotofrank on Tuesday, October 11, 2022 3:34 PM

Saturday, at Modelpalooza, I bought this kit, it came boxed with a Testors F-19 Stealth Fighter Kit. The two kits were a bargain at $5 for the two. Fast forward to today on the bench, the kit is missing the canopy pieces. If anyone out there has this kit and you are not going to build it, or you have just the canopy pieces, I'll take the stuff off your hands. I think both of the kits will look pretty neat when they are built up and on the shelf.

Thanks in advance.

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

I dug through my stuff and I have the kits, but in 1/48 scale, not 1/72.

But my F-19 came with two canopies, a bubble one and a flat sided one. Does your F-19 include both styles? If so, you might be able to work one of them into the MiG cockpit.

Hmm :

Based on the picture you might be able to either find something to suffice for the main canopy or make a mold and smash mold it. Fhe front three panes can be gotten from  the small box that Clips for office work come in. They are optically clear, fairly thin and polishable.

I think with some work, one of the F-19 canopies might work.
