FW190 (help wanted) (1 Viewer)

[wayne556517]

I know this is along shot but i was dusting and shifting figures around and i dropped one on my 190 {eek3}.
Im hoping someone some where might have a damaged one and they could part with the front canopy glass,yep i know its a long shot but you just never know.
Ive asked Andy at K&C and he can't help so if anyone has some suggestions or could help i would be very grateful.
Otherwise i will have to buy a new one and this one will become a damaged plane at my airfield and i don't really want to do that.

Wayne...

send me a couple of better pics mate and, Iam sure it could be rebuilt. I have some medium that I use called modelling film which, will make a clear canopy. is it the static part of the canopy that is damaged?.
