One of the things needed by some kits more than others is a replacement canopy set. These are often useful as many times the kit ones are too thick, distort what's inside, don't fit well or all of the above. This particular set from Pavla is nicely molded with frame lines that you can actually use when masking. It is also of a semi-thick clear plastic so that not only are the parts not flimsy, but there is a large enough contact patch so that they will stay on when cemented in place. This set is for the Matchbox kit which has also be reissued by Revell.
