Source for a missing canopy?
Posted by MJY65 on Wednesday, February 24, 2021 4:01 PM

I have an older 1:72 ESCI RF-4C kit that I would like to build, but it is missing the canopy.   Is there an aftermarket source for that or a workaround to make something decent as a replacement?

 

Thanks,

Mike

I think Italeri did a lot of re-boxed ESCI kits or the other way around I'm not sure but if there's no aftermarket you could contact the local importer and ask for a replacement canopy for a 1/72 Italeri RF-4, I've had replacement parts sent in the mail from the importer as well as the manufacturer. I think youll need the part/sprue number. That's what I would try at least.

You can also go on Ebay and check for vac form canopies that pop up now and then.
