Translation help needed
While going through my collection of vac-formed canopies, I ran across one that has the following on the label:
OSZKLENIE do modeli kartonowych SAMOLOTOW Does anyone know what model kit this may be for? My guess is the information in lower case type probably means something like 'for cardboard model'.

Usually if it is a GPM canopy, there will be a model name on it
maybe a photo of the canopy

OSZKLENIE
do modeli kartonowych SAMOLOTOW just refers to clear windows for card model aircraft. I have some with the same thing. But mine also have an extra printed reference to the specific contents of the package. Like 1/32 F14 Tomcat. Obviously you're not an idiot and already understand this. Why not post a photo of the canopy and we will ID it.

I think this may be from an independent vendor....the label has just what I stated above, no manufacturer logo whatever. It was also in a baggie rather than more 'professoinal' packaging. I'm not sure it would help to post a picture. The canopy is in two parts...one for a cockpit (similar to that of a B-25 or A-26) and the other a 'bubble' that looks too big for just an observation dome....maybe a transparent nose. I'm thinking the associated model might be one of the soviet light or medium bombers. I'm hoping that a translation of the upper case text will give some insight.

Problem solved. While taking the canopy out of the baggie, the light hit the label just right and revealed some indentations where someone tried writing the model identification with pencil that didn't show on the label. It is for an He-111. Now to figure out which kit it is for.

Quote:
including canopies, bubble domes, nose glass, etc So, if you had posted a pic, I would have identified it, since I have the same vacuform canopy package. Probably for the same GPM kit. I bet theres a couple more here that could have identified that one too. Never underestimate your fellow forum members.
