| One of the projects I've been working on . 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! I would so much like one of those Cherilea Jets. You've done a fine job on the canopy so far _________________ clivvers - saviour of the huMAM race @ MAMageddon 2009 - 2099 @ clivvers MAM Nation: | |

| 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

| 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 ? _________________ " There will be no Mercy ." Chip Hazard .
