It just depends on the look you are going for. Probably the two most popular canopies for .40 size stunters are the Sig WW11 eleven inch and nine inch canopies - they can be cut down depending on the profile you want. The Sig sport canopies are rounder in front - also quite popular. They are cheap - buy a couple, decide what one works for your current project and save the others for future reference.

As Pete says, buy several and use the one you like. I think Bill Sawyer has canopies also. Look in Vendors corner. Anyway after you get the one want, you sell the rest to the RC crowd. DOC Holliday

Last time I chacked, Sig still offered theit Mustang Stunter canopy. You might want to check there. I don't *thinnk* Bill Sawyer has a true Mustang canopy.

The 9" Sig WWII canopy is pretty good for what you seem to be looking for.

Bill Sawyer does offer a P-51 for the Veco perhaps you could PM him for a discription of size etc.

OK you want a Mustang canopy. Sparky at sparky2@att.net makes canopies from copies of my original molds. The Snaggletooth canopy is 9" long as installed. His prices are reasonable and quality excellent.
