I am a notorious breaker of parts and misplacer of windows n such. In this case you may consider experimenting with Testors clear part adhesive and window maker

testors.cust.shopatron.com/.../Clear_Parts_Cement_Window_Maker

I have had some good luck with this product making the windows for B-17 and B-29 gun positions and navigation windows. Practice on a junk model and read up on some posts regarding technique and I think you could do alright with it.

If Revell still has the Monogram B 52 in production, you can contact their customer service and request a replacement part.

Check this Revell web page for instructions on how to request a replacement part:

http://www.revell.com/support/index.html

Revell has helped me out on more than one occasion when I needed a part, even though the loss or damage was due to my error.

They also ship the part to you at no charge.Big Smile

Of course, I am presuming you would welcome a kit part and are not looking specifically for a vacu-form replacementHmm

I have lost the rear gunners canopy and for the life of me cannot find anyone stateside who offers a vacum formed replacement set for this kit. Is there one? And if so, can someone direct me to their web page? Thanks for helping me correct my stupid mistake. John
