Windy's Seafire plan shows a bubble type canopy marked " PSP" . Does anyone know what this means or where to obtain one? Thanks for the help.. H^^

I’ll take an educated guess. Windy for a time sold certain things under the name Pro Stunt Products. I doubt these are available any longer. You’ll need to mold your own or carve solid blocks unless someone has a Winfred contact to ask if he has any around.

I would measure the length and the height and see what
Park Fliers offers, (Google.) He will most likely have something that might work. Maybe.
Park Flyer Plastics is at https://parkflyerplastics.com/cart/
They have several Spitfire canopies, but the two I found listed are too big for the Urtnowski Spitfire. You still might look at the Park Flyer listings for something that would come close to the size and shape you need for that design.
Carving a form and molding a canopy of that size should not be a major problem. Either vacuum form if you have the equipment or you can heat shrink a plastic bottle over the form which is easy to do, particularly since that is not a very large canopy.

Jnr Skylark , 7 x 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch . Half the Price .
Stylised my preferance is a touch undersize , airplane looks bigger in proportion . Others go the opposite .

Late model Seafires had a few different canopy shapes. Here's a couple of drawings from a plastic models guy:

Spitfire plans available from Aero products Pat Johnson design either bubble version or hardback 54" WS . Found a person that had a used cut Seafire canopy.
