Estes Strikefighter, Kit #2015, Build, Part 22, Canopy Size? Oooops!

I redrew the decals using the online PDF for reference.

Don't request these yet. I may have some resizing and tweaking to do. 

I thought it was funny that the front of the cockpit decal had a fire extinguisher and first aid kit.

I assumed Estes used the old Centuri Fighter Jets clear canopy. Those kits were ST-10 or about 1" in diameter. The Strikefighter is a larger diameter BT-55 at 1.325" diameter.

The Strikefighter canopy is larger. I won't be able to use the small canopy I have.

Checking the forums, the Strikefighter kit used a canopy similar to the the Guillows P-51 Mustang. To see it, CLICK HERE. 

Now I've got some thinking to do. Do I order a Guillows canopy for $10.00 plus $5.00 shipping?

Or - do I carve a larger canopy and use it in my vacu-form machine?
