    I am also a little concerned about the thin canopy. Might have to laysome FG in it.

      What the heck is the canopy made of anyway?

      Looks like Lexan.

          Cracked mine already. Not as bad as Steven, but it cracked. I scratched the inside of the plastic up and put down some thin FG then resin'd over it. The factory canopy is weaker than puppy piss.

            I'm not sure the material. Same stuff the sub-hatch is made out of. Mine appears to have started cracking up near the front where the pin is. I think I may pull that pin off and just use some small pieces of tape front and back to make sure it says on.

            Material is great for casting in scale details, and great for racing (light weight)... perhaps not so good when you crash... Luckily, replacements aren't very expensive.
