Hello, does anyone have a Great Planes Stuka canopy they would be willing to part with? I tried Tower but they are discontinued. Thanks, Jim

RE: Stuka canopy
Thanks for the help Joe, the Martuka canopy may work as the GP stuka is 70" wingspan and that Martuka Stuka is 71". It is a different model but if all else fails I will have to try it it. Does anybody have an opinion on how "off" that would look? Also the GP is a B version and the Martuka is a D version. Thanks again.

RE: Stuka canopy
LA7, I woulds be grateful for that. I am also interested in the process that you are doing. I figured there was probably a way but could not figure out how to go about it. Anyway, thank you and if you would explain your process I would really find it interesting. Take care, Jim

RE: Stuka canopy
As promised a couple of shots of the Stuka canopy plug. Here is the side and front views with a fresh coat of epoxy. I will probably do some more shaping of the rear section as I am not happy with it quite yet...

RE: Stuka canopy
Warbird, thanks for the heads up on that, I had actually just purchased one from e-bay right before I saw the thread back up. I had ordered one from Tower and they said it was gone and that was it, checked the website right after and it said out of stock and discontinued but they must have dusted some off from in the backroom!
