Scratch A-wing 1/18 scale

I started this over 2 years ago. Got the shape down and a few details and let it sit for a long time. Now it’s time to finish this so I can start my next model guilt free.
But now that I’m back into it, I’m reinvigorated. The pulled form canopy turned out really nice so I’m back on track.
Thanks for looking

That looks great! And you're right, the canopy is fabulous. Looks spot on and crystal clear.

Great stuff

Nice! Say, what plastic did you use to form the canopy? Acrylic?
Cheers! Robert

I used a lid from a disposable salad container. It has a number 1 in the recirculate symbol. Heated in the oven and stretched over a buck made from epoxy sculpt.
