Hello
Do they make replacement canopies for helos like they do for planes? I picked up a 1/35 UH-60L DAP and the main windshield has several deep cracks in it. Just looking for options.

Thank you.

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?

None for the H-60 series. You can contact MRC (Academy's US importer) and they will send you a replacement though. I have had a couple bad ones replaced.

MRC Contact

As a side note, Academy got the name wrong. There is no such thing as an AH-60L DAP in the US Military. The US uses the MH (Multi-mission Helicopter) designation for special operations helicopters. It is an MH-60L DAP gunship. The AH (Attack Helicopter) designation is reserved for specifically designed attack helos like the AH-1 Cobra and AH-64 Apache.

Thanks I will MRC a try. I did think it odd it had the AH designation but it has been awhile since I was up on my helicopters.
