Canberra PR.9 early glass nose conversion set

This set comprises the required clear cast parts for for the new nose as found on early PR.9's as well as the transition piece between canopy and nose inluding the sied access door. Decals are provided and were originally printed for XH129 and 130, later we discovered that one of the longest serving PR.9's XH131 originally also had the glass nose, so to cover that serial number two decal sheets are supplied and a little cutting and splicing will be required to do XH131, but worth the effort to do a famous PR.9.
