Canopies

Very nice craftsmanship on the build of these canopies. I will keep these ideas in mind on other builds I might come up on. Thank you very much for taking the time for the instructions. This will be very helpful. Thanks again. wc

Thank you for the kind words.
You (as well as anyone else) are more the welcome to use what ever technique that I have posted for any of your builds.

I look forward to seeing your work!!!

John, you are aware the Thunder Fighter is fictional, right? Just like the Millenium Falcon, the Starship Enterprise, and, supposedly, the Battlestar Galactica. Now, if Rhaven had tried to depict, say, the Space Shuttle Atlantis with a pop-open cockpit windshield, I'd take issue with it. But as it is, I say Rhaven, thanks for once again sharing your talent.
BTW, if anyone does have a sliding canopy, I'd also love to see how it works.

Thank you for the kind words Vince.
As for a sliding canopy; There is one style in this tutorial thread as well as one style that I cam up with can be found here as well: Detailed Thunder Fighter Project

I would like to see others come up with their own versions as well.
I am always interested in learning new techniques!!!

The Thunder Fighter is one of my favorite fighters. The basic design lends itself to so many variations and configurations.

So by all means, please build this WONDERFUL plane. I would like to see what other builders come up with.

18 INCHES LONG??? That would be (about) half again larger then the original model (which is about 11 3/4 inches long).
THAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE!!!
I hope that you will post a build thread. If you do, I will follow it thoroughly.

I wish you the best of luck with it!!!

Well, you most certainly have it.
You can use this thread as well as this one: Detailed Thunder Fighter Project to help you with ideas as well as tricky parts. I am willing to answer any questions that you have about anything that I have done or any techniques that I have used.

Once again, good luck with your build!!!

COOL idea for the 18" version. I'd love to build one of those to hang in my art studio.
