Yeah guys.
For this kit, I am going to make the canopies open, using the combined 'good bits' from 2 canopies, plus scratchbuilt sections where necessary.
One canopy will be used as a pattern to try Wojtek's idea of vacforming. If that works, I will do vac canopies for my son's Ki-15-II, my C5M1, and a C5M2 for my daughter.
