1/72 SAAB B17 vacform canopies
Product # K7230 for Marivox B17 kit

Product Article by Steve Bamford on May 21 2010

 

These new vacformed canopies by Maestro Models Conversions from Rebell Hobby are designed to fit the  SAAB B17 model kit from  Marivox,  These canopies are made from thick material and not the thin material of some vacformed canopies.  I find this material more realistic and easier to work with and very much like the usual kit canopy made from clear sprue.

Two canopies are included in this set.  This permits you to make a mess of one as you experiment with different techniques.  The instructions don't include any specific information about working with vacformed canopies, but a quick search on the net or asking on the ARC Discussion Forums will give you plenty of info.
