These new SAAB 37 Viggen corrected canopies and paint masks by Maestro Models Conversions from Rebell Hobby are what you need to get the correct canopy shape for the Airfix/Esci Viggen kit.

These vac-u-formed canopies are quite smooth....the photo below was shot outside and shows the jagged reflection of trees and is not a flaw in the canopies.  The paint masks are an added bonus and will save you time when it comes to painting.

These replacement canopies will correct the low profile and incorrect canopy framing on the old Airfix/Esci kit.  You get two canopies in case you damage one or if you want to cut them up and display your Viggen with the canopy in the open position. 

The instructions include general tips about working with vac-u-formed canopies..

I would like to thank Rebell Hobby for providing me with this review sample.  You can buy this direct from them at http://www.rebell.com.

Rebell Hobby will have more items for the Draken and Viggen in the future from Maestro Models Conversions.
