new dome for C-57D kits
Posted by justimagine on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 10:59 AM
I just got the new dome from Modeleers yesterday. This part will replace the incorrect version supplied with the PL kit and the soon to be re-release from Round 2. Received both a clear and a opaque version for approval. For those that have ordered them he is shipping them out now- he's been "Down with the CRUD" and been sick for days. He's on the mend now and they are going out.

What a difference! The new dome will actually fit over the kit part with a very small gap between the hull and the part- so it will fit over the kit interior with no problems. The clear version is "clearer" than I expected. With some polishing it will be fantastic- but I suspect it is fine as is for many. The clear part is thicker than the opaque part- but the opaque is PLENTY sturdy. The profile of the ship is GREATLY improved. It now looks like the C-57D.
Here's the link to photos of the new dome on a model now being built.
