One with canopy, one without. Not sure if I can use it as is.... may have to get creative!
I agree, it's too thick and too large. I will have to figure out how to either use it as a mold, make one from scratch? I don't know, I haven't done that before...The canopy seems to be too "armored" IMHO for the scale. I would make a new canopy using the kit one as the model for that.
Thank you Wurger! This is my favorite site for modeling because people like you are so very helpful!That can be made in a quite easy way . If it is too large you may fit it to the model by sanding in order to get the proper shape and dimensions. Then use the plasticine and press the canopy into that . In the way you can obtain a mould for the canopy former. It is enough to fill the squeezed shape of the canopy in the plasticine with some of epoxy. To make the handling of the moulded former easier you may put ito the epoxy a piece of a wooden stick, etc. Also you may use a piece of balsa wood for making the former. If you want you may check on my thread about making pilot seats. That's the same way of making .The difference is you need to use the clear plastic sheet insted of the white one I used for the making of the chair. The link below.

Also here is Crimea_River's thread for his Fw 190A-5. He had to make the underwing blisters for the variiant from scratch. The way with using of the plasticine moulds is depicted fine. Scroll to the post #33.
