I need canopies for a 1-48 revell monogram pby

Hi Guys.

Yes My recent 1/48th Revell Germany kit # 04507 PBY had a canopy mold injection defect that could not be fixed.  I wrote to them and they sent me another damaged canopy 5 weeks later. 

If another consumer is having this defect problem,  (The back corner is like cellophane tape thin with lines through it) then this must be a problem for the whole run, or a large portion of the run.

And making an "Overly big deal"  expecting quality control  on a $100. retail kit when I've run a succesful business for 35 years is in reality the right thing to do.  The kit was unbuildable as presented OOB and now another consumer is validating a bad production run.

To boot they sent another damaged canopy which indicates zero QC.

Hello!

Didn't we have a gentleman here, that checked that all 1/48 Revell Catalina canopies are short-shot? If so writing Revell will unfortunately not do much good...

Good luck with finding that canopy and have a nice day

Yeah, I remember that. The guy was making an overly big deal about that, too, complaining about how much money he had paid for such bad workmanship.

Hi, Bill! Have you tired Squadron? They have vacuum-formed canopies for just about any aircraft that ever existed.
