I am looking for a Squadron Canopy for a C-46 Commando and Masks. 1/72nd Scale, Williams Brothers Kit.
Go to the Squadron site and type in C-46 in the search engine. They have both in stock. The Squadron canopy is much easier to use that the two piece one which comes with the kit. it’s what I used when I made my model.
What Gordon said. Just type in C-46 and it will list all the kits A/M accessories, reference books etc. Also, when you select a particular kit, it will list all of the above mentioned things underneathe the kit description.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Jeff
I used the Squadron canopy on my C-46 because the two piece unit that comes in the kit is nearly impossible to get to look right. The Squadron unit isn’t the best fit in the world, but a lot better than the kit unit.

Very fantastic kit . Well done Yardbird78 . Is it a kit easy to build?
Relatively, I thought, and where else ye gonna get one. Watch out that you don’t put the main LG on backward left to right- the inst sheet is a little hazy.
Super nice nmf Commando, YB.
If you don’t buy the Squadron canopy, the trick to the kit ones are to fit each half into each half of the fuse first. They dont fit well, mostly the lower part, but its a whole lot easier to file the opening bigger at that point. There is a frame down the middle.
This is one of my alltime favorite a/c model kits.I only built one, OD over NG, but it’s since been rereleased with the CBI decals with the yellow codes.
I checked the squadron website and they are currently out of stock. Does anyone have a canopy and paint mask for sale?
