Default Texas Hurricane Canopy

Like most of my planes I left the detailing till after the maiden. While placing decals I decided to check the real plane by going online. Major surprise! every picture I could find shows the plane with a super long low canopy ala Extra 330L, instead of the heinous bubble Kangke included. A quick check revealed that my spare GP Giles canopy is a PERFECT fit and near perfect match with the real plane. I cant even begin to describe how much better the plane looks now, infact it is now my 2nd most favorite design. So if you want your TH to look like the real plane while improving the looks, order the GP Giles canopy.

What size caopy did you use. I would like to do that to mine, it looks better with the longer canopy. Do you have pictures?

Sorry for the crappola webcam pics, its all I have.. spend all my money on planes,hehe
These are with the stock shape Giles canopy before trimming but you get the idea. I just painted over the outside of the canopy where its red from GP , I used Imron, but as long as your paint doesnt attack plastic you should be ok as I dont think fuel proof paint is to important unless you like to spray fuel all over when you fill up
