Need: 1/72 F-86D Canopy (OTW/Found)

[nighthunter]

So, got myself a Special Hobby 1/72 F-86K Sabre Dog, but it has a vacuform canopy. Got an injection moulded one from a friend and it got broken by a toddler. Seeing if anyone has one I could have, as I am inexperienced with Vacuform anything and I'm terrified of mucking it up. Can anyone help me?

I've got an Airfix/US Airfix F-86D canopy if you think it would work. I'm up here in Alberta so not far away.

If you get an injection replacement then give the vacform one a go to help your confidence.

I'm normally useless with this type of thing, but I'm ok (touching wood) with canopies. I mark where I want to cut with a felt tip and then use a very small pair of nail scissors to gradually trim away to that line. Much more controllable I find then using a scalpel.

I have had very mixed results stuffing the canopy with Blu-Tack and then using a scalpel so have gone back to the scissors.

Thanks! I'll PM you shortly.

No problems, it had become redundant ---    I'll pop it in the post this week.
