I've been trying to find a desent canopy for my 600 gasser. The only canopy suitable is the 700.
So I got one from readyheli but it was too soft. I dressed it in carbonfiber and now is stiff and don't bent that easy.
As for paint scheme I searched the net and combined couple of them together.
I still have to do a couple of touch ups then clear coated.
but to me it looks pretty nice.

Spoke too soon. Spilled some thinner on the canopy while trying to do some touch ups. Results no good. Will start over again.
Time is on my side for shure.

Billy, you are really good with the brush!

By the way, just to know, is the fuselage 100% ready or still missing something?

Billy … I thought that the meat adds were excellent in your first couple of pics . Maybe you can make a deal with IGA “Billy’s Flying Flyers”. :D

Well after the thrird attempt she is done. The canopy for the gasser is finished. Not too bad of a job. Considering the conditions that I sprayed it in she turned out pretty nice..
Enjoy
