1st model build in 20+ years Hello

Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, January 16, 2005 9:56 PM

Hi- my name is Trip. I built my first model in a long time...it was a 1/48 Hasegawa p-51d. When i was a kid, i built about 75 1/72 wwII aircraft. I forgot how much i enjoyed it. Anyway, i am getting back in for any number of reasons.

The bad news. i screwed up both of my bubble canopies...is there a way to get a replacement. From reading recently, I know some of you guys build your own canopys and buy upgrades. If somebody has a 1/48 p-51 bubble canopy leftover, i would be glad to pay for it.

This is a great site...

Best wishes

Welcome to the forum Trip. There are "aftermarket" canopies out there, I start with an outfit called "the Sqadron". They may have what you are looking for or some of the others on line may sugest other sites.

Always good to have a more new members here. I'm still trying to figure out how to replace one those little boogers myself. As has been mentioned, you could try Squadron. The canop[ies I've seen have been for Monogram kits but it is possible that by now they have replacements for Tamigawa.

Wayne I enjoy getting older, especially when I consider the alternative.

Welcome Trip!

First I would look on the instructions, or on the company website for a contact number, I know with Tamiya I can call them and have my replacement in a week or so. Second try squadron.com or greatmodels.com and see if they have them. Odds are for something as popular as a P-51 I bet they do!

And if it's not broken but only scratched go to the link here:
