Don't laugh it's near impossible to find an original canopy.
I still haven't figured out what's next or how I'm going to fit it but you get the idea.
The bigger two litre bottle is best for the bigger dome effect.

You've got a 1/6 jet! Cool Cool I would so much like one of those Cherilea Jets. You've done a fine job on the canopy so far Smile

I'm afraid this is gonna be one of those Good News Bad News type posts! Embarassed

I DO have a loose Canopy (and a loose tail fin) but I'm afraid I bought them with the express intention of having them to hand if and when I pick up plane that's missing a canopy! No

Very clever! The bottle is the perfect shape for the canopy too. Well done that man!

Great tip Brian! All I need now is a plane!! I've always got plenty of empty 2 litre bottles in my recycle bin! In all different colours too! Lol

Now, THAT'S clever! If you hadn't said it was a coke bottle, I would have assumed it was a custom-vacuuformed replacement!

Top job Sparklebudgie,

A great tip for all those people who have lost their canopy. Can you get your little fella in? By little fella I mean your actionman of course.

I have a cherilea jet as well but in order to get an action man to fit in properly I have to remove his lower legs and even then the canopy does not fit down properly because his head sticks out too far.

I have the original canopy but alas I'm missing the under carriage and rockets.

The minty stickers look really good too Smile

Looks good ! You could perhaps make a frame for it , some thin brass strip would probably do the job , not sure how you would join it , but it`s probably rigid enough to give a good fit . Or maybe Mecano ?
