AMT Ertl XWing Fighter( snap kit)
Posted by LtGreg on Saturday, November 19, 2005 8:51 PM
I am almost finished with the finishing touches and was looking to do the  canopy to paint and to attach. But it is no where to be found. I have looked all over and it has disappeared! Does anyone have one from model  #8932 that they are not using or know where I can get a replacement?

Wow, looks like AMT/ERTL aren't going to be any help:

I have the kit, but unfortunately I'm in the process of building it.  You may be stuck with having to buy another kit to get yours done.  I have the same luck with canopies, but my troubles were with the larger scale glue-together X-Wing kit.  Good luck to you.

   If you need to, let me know and I can vac one for you...I have a few dozen canopies to do next weekend, and  I still have the master from my X-wing...  I think this is the same model:

Boy that stinks,you buy a model from RC2 and they expect you to fraud some other dealer to get the replacement part or kit replaced. How dishonest is that? Wow!

I should have one of those around if you still need one email me and in the mean time I'll see if I can find it for you.

YEP GOT IT! If you want it let me know.
Strange things you find in the parts box??? I have only ever bought one of the B-wing and one snap X-wing fighter kit but for some reason I have 3 canopies for each. Maybe there is some kind of vortex under you alls bench that leads directly to my parts box???

Yes it is sadSad [:(] I remember before RC2 got thier hands around AMT/ERTL they had great customer service. All you had to do was give them a call, let them know the part number and kit number and they would have it out to you within a week.

Revell/Monogram sent me a bunch of parts I needed to replace a busted clear parts tree for an AV-8B Harrier quick, for only $3.  I'm pretty happy for that.  Of course, I got the kit for $7 at Hobby Lobby, so I didn't mind raising the total cost to $10 for a 20-someodd dollar kit... Big Smile [:D]
