Contact them via their toll free phone number or check their website for a replacement part. Or take it back to where you purchased the kit.

If you cant get one.....make one, its very easy:

 1) download three view plans from Internet....

2) from plan make a wooden mold...You can use even balsa!!

3) get some "transparent" plastic sheets......battery cases, razor cases, etc...

4) stick a barbeque bamboo stick to the bottom of the mold, glue well.

5) now "carefully" heat the plastic sheet with a small candle, when it starts to melt
"Push" the mold up on it........you now have your cockpit!!!....since the plastic sheet is
thinner these cockpits are "better" than the "thick" plastc ones you get in the kit!!!!

 Happy scratchbuilding!!
