galifrey, that top one is one of the best canopies i've seen. the fire dept one by LGM's must be the best. but i wouldn't fly either of them. waste of a canopy if you scratch it or worse bend it.

here is mine. painted here in UK by Gary Liminton, cost £35. i have another one the same on the way too. for the money (cheap as hell) it's a great paint job.

cheers

Beauty !!

What a great looking canopy !! I just got a badger airbrush...I do some oil painting...but never even tried the airbrush yet...but I plan to give it a try...in fact the canopy is sitting here and ready to prime...probally a disaster awaits for the first try...

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.... Dennis

I met the guy that paints them for modelpaint, Ian - originally a motorbike helmet painter but now moving into the model stuff, really nice guy and highly skilled!

Watch out for some new stuff coming from them by the sounds of it,

Galifrey, the pink one looks like a demented parrot

The union jack one is awesome, the shadowing on the jack is fantastic, well worth £50

Dont start Mark - my 10 quid paint job looks as good as a lot of 100 quid ones

£1000, and the rest

- anyway thats a basher, i have a custom sprayed one comming from Jeremy - a kick ass job, that will fly and die like the rest.

BTW that 343 is the best one i have seen.........
