In my stash I have a C-130 vacuform conversion set which allows you to make six or seven different C-130's.  I'm sure there's a vac canopy in the set but as usual, I can't find it when I want to check.  I think it's an AirModel conversion but it could also be a DB productions one too.  Flightpath do a number of these conversion in resin now so you may be able to get a canopy through either of these companies.

I have that one too Robert, and it is an Airmodel production. You can make various C-130s from it, including the UK Airborne Weather Station and the USAF Fulton recovery System aircraft. I'm notr sure if it has a canopy in there or not as Airmodel tended to sellotape their canopies inside a fuselage side or similar.

Thanks for the confirmation Kit, I knew it had to be one or the other.  Now that I have it on my mind, I think the vac' canopy is for the 'roman nose' one.
