Hey guys. I have been working on a project for myself to make clear canopies for the Firebat. I hate the red plastic they use for the Cobra jets, so i made a solid canopy form master, cast it and put five on a plate to get vacformed.
The new canopies are not without very slight blemishes, but i also got forms done in black styrene(So the canopy frame can be cut out and painted separately). Just thought i'd see if anyone on here was interested in them. Adding them means dremelling out the original Firebat window to act as a support frame and then these just glue on top after trimming with a pair of scissors. Here are pics of the form and the canopies i got made today: Last edited by bar; 09-27-2011 at 05:37 AM.. |

Thanks. I am going to try and get a black form cut tonight into the canopy frame to show how it could look.

Nice idea. I really didn't know if this was possible. I just picked up the Black Dragon V.T.O.L. yesterday, and was thinking that a red canopy would look better on the black vehicle. (as opposed to non-transparent canopy.)
