Can you buy aftermarket canopes? For 3 bucks I would think I could just about get a better quality aftermarket piece if one is available. Any ideas?

The Bf is short for Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Bavarian Aircraft Works) and of course the Me is for Messerschmitt. The competing companies merged and the rest is just designation mistakes. the Me thing is a common mistake that goes back a long way but it's just a mild case of what works for them.
Hope the mail is kind and quick, good luck!

Free replacement but $3.00 Shipping and Handling?? The entire kit was less than $8. Bummer, I might hold off. Not like I'm going to get around to this kit any time soon anyway.

Revell 1:48 Bf-109G front winshield messed up.

The front winshield of my 109G was way too short on the right side. The gap is so big it takes up a lot of space where the actual window, clear part should be. I looked up on Revell-Monogram's website and they will replace the part but it says it will be shipped 15-20 business days (3-4 weeks!). And I made the mistake of not checking the pieces until I needed them, argg. Now I'm ready to mask the canope, put it in place and start painting. But that ain't gonna happen any time soon. AHHHHHH!!

BTW, why does the Revell box call it a Messerschmit Me-109G instead of a Bf-109G?
