I am building a 21st Century Toys F4U Corsair and my dog got up on my workbench and stole the front canopy. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement. It is not a birdcage. Thanks.

Can't help with a new canopy, buuut, sooner or later the dog will recycle the original.

I haven't seen these kits carried by the few online hobby shops I buy from, so I did a Google search. Seems that Walmart carries them. What's more the retail price seems to be between $10-$13. Why not check your local Walmart to see if they carry the kit?

Have you looked on the instructions and on the box for the address, email address, or a phone number?

You could use an aftermarket vac formed canopy, bout $7/$10

While not specifically for your kit this might work

And a few days back there was a tutorial here on using vacu form canopies.
