Quote from: Old Wombat on April 12, 2025, 06:41:29 AMThere seems to have been a bit of a thing in the 1950's to go back to small-paned framed canopies. A bit weird considering that blown canopies had been a thing from during WW2.  :blink:

So of the two kits, one came with a resin canopy. I simply sanded and polished it until it looks as you see it.

All the info I've read suggests this was the case.

Thanks all for the comments.
