Anyone out there who can make me a canopy for a two-seater F-16 scale 1:32. Actually I am converting the Academy kit into an Israeli F-16I Sufa and I am almost done, BUT i do not know how to make a canopy.
Do we have any experts who can make one for me?

Were you able to eliminate the wedge splitter RAM ducts and add the small bulge just aft of the heater strut? Also, there's a host of other major modifications like dual ECS, larger NLG tire, RW/EW antennas. Post some photos of what you got so far
As far as a 32nd D model conversion, there was one made for the Tamiya kit out of Taiwan, but it was hideously inaccurate!
If you can master up a good shape or form, We can cast it. It would need to be proofed though, before any molds could be done. We've been experimenting clear resin casting and have some real nice test shots of a similar conversion.
You may want to check over there on ARC, as there's a guy who's made a couple of D model coversions, one being for Hasegawa's 32nd scale F-16. They are not really for sale as far as I know, more like his own personal work.
No hard core hints from Tamiya yet, but from the on and off traffic I've been hearing it's not to far down the road. I would wait it out a while longer.

Thanks for the answer. Actually I made the airplane indclding most of the smass modifications, bus still have a lot to do. My problem by making a master for the canopy is that I really donīt know how to do it.
Will send you some photos after my holiday.
Actyally as I have heard a two-seater canopy in 1:32 is most wanted in the modeling community.

Don't waste your money. That's the same-lame F-16B/D conversion I mentioned above. Take note as it's hideously inaccurate; even worse than Kinetic's 48th D model test shot!
