Bf109 E-1 E-3 canopies for Airfix new mold

Zippythehog · Apr 22, 2020

Hi,
I'm itching to build an Airfix Bf-109 as an E-1 or -3. I'm having difficulty locating a canopy that is correct. Anyone have ideas?
Thanks

What scale? I have a spare Tamiya E-3 canopy in 1:72.

Totally forgot-1:72- the one true scale.

A4K how can I compensate you?

The E-1 and E-3 had the same cockpit canopy type.However some E-1/E-3s could have the E-4 one retrofitted.

I didn't think of that. If possible, I'd like to stay as close as possible to the info at hand. I will use that as a last resort.

No problem mate, sent you a PM. ( And don't even think about compensation - glad to be able to help!)
