Hey Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
In your post above comparing the nose of the second and third series MK Blue Angel kits, I think you have the wrong photo in one place. We are missing the photo of the nose area on the plans of the second series kit. I'd really like to compare the profiles of the canopies.
Based on your observations, what do you think Yoshioka did with the canopy on his '73 World Champs winning machine? Did he use the asecond series kit canopy and move it forward, or did he use a different canopy? And how does Yoshioka's '73 canopy relate to the revised canopy MK eventually included in the third series kits?
Best regards,
George
Right you are and I fixed it!! It is hard to tell what Yoshioka used for a canopy because it doesn’t look like any of the variants. It looks most like the first image in post number 1136. That image shows the prototype of the first (kitted) Blue Angel before being kitted (I think).
