Quinta Studio QC72003 SU-57 vacuformed clear canopy 2 pcs (for 7319 Zvezda kits) 1/72 is a high-quality modeling accessory set, designed for the precise replication of the cockpit of the modern Russian multirole fighter SU-57 in 1/72 scale. This product is dedicated to Zvezda plastic models with catalog number 7319 and serves as an excellent alternative to the standard canopy offered by the model's manufacturer.

Product features:

• The canopy is produced using vacuum-forming technology from clear plastic, ensuring exceptional clarity, thinness, and accurate detailing of the SU-57 cockpit.
• The set includes 2 pieces of transparent canopies, allowing for two models to be built or one canopy to be kept as a spare.
• The set is designed exclusively for SU-57 Zvezda models in 1/72 scale (catalog number 7319), which guarantees a perfect fit of the components.
• This product enhances the level of realism, as the thinner vacuformed canopy better represents the true proportions of the aircraft glazing compared to injection-molded parts.
