Why no clear canopy for this vac kit? It must have been a challenge to build since it is a vacuform kit.

Usually vacuform kits will give you a piece of clear vacuformed plastic to make your own canopy. This must have been a lot of work to build. You can now buy the Fine Molds 1/72 kit I just noticed, where is the propeller?

the propeller was weird. 6 half blades you were supposed to glue together then glue to the hub. couldn't make it fit so i gave up.

Most vac form kits give you a cast metal propeller and cast metal landing gear. This is a really interestingly shaped airplane. I should look into buying the Fine Molds 1/72 kit in the future or wait for a 1/48 scale injection kit to be released in the future. I still would like to buy the Hasegawa P1Y1 Ginga though.
