Need a little help.
Posted by fox on Sunday, April 26, 2020 3:12 PM

Hi guys! Whenever one of you post that you went looking for parts or decals etc. I add the location to a list that I have for future reference. It's not all inclusive but there are a lot of places on there.  As you all probably know, some sites are easy to navagate and some aren't. I was on the net going through the list for 5 hours last night. Result = Zippo. I am looking for a canopy for a 1/48 Revell F9F-5 Panther. Call to Revell got "Out of production no parts available". There was supposed to be a 48 page book included in the box also. It wasn't there and same answer from Revell. I can do without the book.

Would any of you gentlemen have the canopy laying around in your parts bin from long ago. I would be more than happy to pay for the part + shipping. I've had this plane sitting on the "Shelf of Doom" for a long time and it is about 75% finished. Would like to finish it and make room on the shelf for completed models.

Thanks for the info Bronto. Checked out their entire site. Found numbers before 481204 and numbers after it but no 481204 and no vac. canopies at all. Put them on my list as I found some other things that might come in handy.

Thanks for the info.

Jim, have you found a canopy yet? I think I have the Monogram kit and could vac form a copy. Ashley

Ashley, no, I haven't found one yet. I scrounged up a couple more sites and have been checking them out for the last (wow) 3 hours. No wonder my eyes are getting very heavy. If you can do that, it would be great. Let me know how you make out. If you make it, I'll send you my address in a PM. Appreciate the effort.

OK, let me try a few over the next couple of days. If any of them bear any resemblance at all to a canopy, I'll let ya know!

Jim, I think I have a couple of usable shots. PM your address and I will get them on the way.
