It doesn't have to be that part, it can be from a plane model etc. Just as long as it's round and not more than 25mm wide.

Any ideas where I can get something like this? Actually, I need two of them.

I like the plastic spoon idea.


The front window from a Star Wars Revell kit of Anakin Star Fighter or TIE fighter would work, though it leaves you the rest of the kit wasted.

Another way to do it is to cut window panes from clear acrylic and join them with a frame of green stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6122862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6122862.page GMT Looking for a see through bubble canopy
Nose pieces from WWII bombers might give you what you need, or something like a turret canopy from one of the bigger ones like a B-17. The specific one will be pretty easy to figure out. Look at pictures, do the math to find out which scale kit will give you the right size.

Normally I will thermo form one though. Not too hard, I carve blanks and then use clear sheet plastic to form over it. That shape you can often get without even needing a vacuum table to pull it tight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6122982.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6122982.page GMT Looking for a see through bubble canopy http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6123035.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6123035.page GMT Re:Looking for a see through bubble canopy http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126518.page GMT Looking for a see through bubble canopy http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126555.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126555.page GMT Re:Looking for a see through bubble canopy

I have one of these. Do you happen to know what it's from? Because I was looking to get more but couldn't figure out wh t it's from. I got in a random bits bag.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126665.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126665.page GMT Looking for a see through bubble canopy http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126672.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126672.page GMT Looking for a see through bubble canopy ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556051/6126957.page GMT
