De-yellowing vacu-formed canopies
Posted by John41492 on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 9:48 PM
Hi all, I Recently got Classic Air Frames Claude, and the vacuformed canopy is yellowed. Are there any ways to get them clear again? Thanks!

Hi ;

Sorry to disappoint you .The material usually used for Vac-U-Formed canopies is not amenable to clearing with any abrasive . It's the nature of the plastic used .

    Your best bet is to make a new one or get one from an after market company that deals in that specific aircraft .

Falcon makes one for the A5M2. Open canopy, all I could find for you.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
