1/48 Hawker Hunter Vac formed canopy
Product # K4818 for Academy kit

Review by Steve Bamford on July 28 2009

 

This new 1/48 Hawker Hunter Vac formed canopy by Maestro Models Conversions from Rebell Hobby is the perfect item if you are building a 1/48 Academy Hawker Hunter.  These canopies are Vac formed, so they are thin which is perfect because the kit canopy is too thick.  You get two canopies, so you have the option to cut them up and display your model with an open canopy.  Trim carefully....cutting away too much plastic is the classic mistake when using vac formed canopies.

The detailing and quality is quite well done with the canopy frames being nicely represented.  The windscreen is nice and flat and you also have the option to use the kit windscreen. 

 

The instructions are clear and include 1 photo to help you with the installation.
