I've been looking around and found some neat vacuum forming ideas. I'll think I'll give this birdcage thing a try. The canopy and "rear window" ala P40) will be a bit of a challenge for me as I have never done it before. The naval aviation museum is in town so I can use the reference library there for help. I tried to sketch a basic lay out from a Squadron Pub book I have that has both canopies side by side. I just drew it on the plans. Any other big differences in the F4U-1 and the new ones besides the canopy to deal with?
Here's my best guess.....
