I know this is a big big longshot here, but..........
I have a 1/72nd scale AMT F-16 that came as part of a thunderbirds box set, and the canopy is missing. I have one spare single seater canopy from an Italeri, but it won't fit the AMT one unfortunately. :banghead: Does anyone have one going spare?  :unsure:
Cheers,

Hello again Robert,
I can't say yes or no about that one, as the Italeri one won't fit. If anyone has both an Italeri and a fujimi one in their stashes, maybe thyey could cross that one off by having a look at both. I think I will be on a hiding to nothing with it and will probably end up sending it to the parts bin.
Cheers,
Chris.

Hya H, I am open to offers, as it looks like it will be trial and error getting one to fit the AMT kit. Robert, if you can send me that one you offered me I will gladly remburse you the postage cost no probs.
Cheers

I have some suggestions mate:

1#  Make a wooden form in the shape of the canopy, or a different shape if you wish, then cut out some sections of coke bottle, large enough to hold over a candle without burning yourself, and heatsmash a canopy.

2#  Make a 'virtual cockpit' similar to the C.O.F.F.I.N. system in some Ace Combat game aircraft - when closed up, the cockpit is seamlessly part of the airframe.

3#  I think it's been done with a -16, a drone fighter.
