Request for Assistance with a missing part
Posted by PTConsultingNHR on Friday, October 16, 2015 2:34 PM

Hi Guys,

Happy Friday.  Hey ... can any of you help me?  I've got an old RoG 1:100 F-14A Tomcat from the late 1980s or early 1990s.  My late father was building it for me (I can't build due to my Cerebral Palsy).  He built most of it and then, his eyesight and arthritis got too much for him and stopped.  For some reason, I never got around to having anyone finish the model and it has sat on my shelf since I think before 9/11/01.  Recently - I hooked up with a modeler (he did my P-47N-2-RE as CHATAUQUA and is currently doing my 1:32 Moebius BSG TOS Viper).  I figured I would have him finish my father's unfinished F-14.  But its box, parts and instructions are long gone.  All it needs is a canopy.  Do any of you have one that you don't want anymore?  If you do, please EMAIL ME at PTConsultingNHR@aol.com.  Thank you.

Have you checked Revell Germany's website to see if that kit is still available, and if so you can get a replacement from them?

Hi Ya Stick,

Yeup, neither Revell or RoG have kits smaller than 1:144 ...

Those things are easy to find on eBay. Academy sold a version too, plus Revell did Snap-kits and EZ kits. Just be prepared to buy another whole model for $ 15 - $20, but given the nature of the project that seems like a small price to pay. While it's not going to be a straight swap as a part, your modeler should have no problem modifying the piece to fit your kit.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
