Fw 190 A-3 Is it time to resurrect this build?

Hey folks, I have a Revell and some Hasegawa canopies as well, and they don't fit.  And the short nose early hood is the flay hood with no bulge, so they wouldn't work anyway.  

I emailed Kitlinx yesterday, so here's hoping....

Expecting new hood any day now

Is it a length problem, or a girth problem Ern?

Wait...  are we still talking about canopies here?

I heard it was a bit of both.

Ooh Matron!

The Hasegawa fuselage is a little too wide; which means that with the rearward taper it also becomes a tad too long. The Revell kit canopy is correct for length and width (but is inaccurate for other reasons). I was under the impression the PCM kit was based on the Hasegawa kit's dimensions, but perhaps not in this case.
