Question DeSanto Canopy Shape?????

Am I Right about this????
While looking through the Gallery files, I ran across a pic and something in it that I had'nt noticed before. There appears to be a (canopy frame) sitting on the viper in the background. Until now it has only been speculation as to what it's shape would definately be. Another mystery discovered I really do believe. I'd seen the pics of the model build up and alot of the full size mock-ups under construction, but never noticed this in a pic. No one else seems to have caught it yet either. Let me hear opinions on this, I think I can finally close the book on this part of the puzzle.

Looks like the scale model also has that curve.

No canopy was ever made for the full size Viper.

Tom
I guess production was stopped before that happened.

Jim, I'd take those words to mean none was ever *completed*. But that photo clearly shows one as being *started*

Default Look what I found....

Hey folks -

Take a look at this drawing I found over at Solium Studios. com....



It says that it's based on the DeSanto design, but it looks pretty good!

Best,
Bryan
