I have reciently started building models again after about a 8 year lay off. I picked up an the Tamiya 1/48 corsair kit, and I am thoughly pleased with it. However, I noticed that the canopy is cracked. I have never used an aftermarket canopy before, and a quick search of my squadron catalog did not turn up a suitable replacement.

So what would yall use for a replacement for the tamiya kit?
Thanks,
C. Alan

Hi CAlan, Squadron/Signal and Falcon do a set of vacform canopies for the corsair. Here's a link to what I found that's available.
