Hi guys. Today when masking the canopy of my Mosquito FB Mk VI a disaster occurred. Don´t know how I broke the canopy
Please, does anybody knows how can I obtain a replacement canopy
I´m thinking in contacting Tamiya America but in their web page they say that the e-mail contact is only for US residents.
If somebody has a it will be very much appreciated.

Hi Carlos

Probably a stupid question... but does the box have an Argentinian importer's sticker? If so, they might be worth contacting.

If you have no luck at all, Squadron/Falcon do superb vacuform replacement canopies.

All the best

Hi Rowan: Thank you very much for the info.
At the present time there´s no a Tamiya oficial importer or distributor in Argentina.
To contact Squadron/Falcon is good option. Do you have their web adress ?
Thanks again.

Oh Carlos!,,
What have you gone and done?
Vacuform would definately be the way to go.
At least with vacform canopies you normally get 2,so you'll have a spare for yourself in the future
Im looking forward to seeing this Mossie,guess I'll just have to wait a bit longer

Thanks Dave. I´ll visit their page.

Hi Nigel.
You can´t imagine how I feel this afternoon when I made such a mess I think that my neighbours will belive I´m nuts.
The Moosie is practically finished, decaled and coated. The only things that are resting are the rockets, the navigation lights in the wings and the canopy. I also made a base representing the airstrip with grass in both sides. I´m happy the way it´s comming out (not with the this afternoon accident).
I´ll take some pics as it´s now and post them here.
I really don´t know how this happens, as is said there´s always a first time, and I hope the last and only one for me.
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Carlos

I hate to say it, but accidents are a fact of modelling. It doesn't matter how careful you are, sometimes things just seem to have a will of their own...

Looking forward to seeing the finished Mossie.

All the best

Hi fellows.
I tried to buy the Squdron canopy but it´s out of stock, so I decided to buy the Falcon Set of World War 2 Fighters (Part 2) in wich is included the Moosie FB Mk VI canopy for the Tamiya kit. It comes with other six canopies. I also will use the Goster Meteor Mk III canopie to make the conversion of the Tamiya Mk I kit that have the airebrakes in the wings (I have that kit in my stash for 4 years now).

I think that I will recieve the Set in two or three weeks. I´ll let you know how it goes.

Hi Carlos, I feel your pain I broke the canopy to my Lysander, I was devistated. I still haven't resolved the issue
Looking forward to seeing your Mossie, I must finish mine
Mal

Thanks Mal.
You used the right word, the feeling was devastating. Imagine, with the Moosie finished and with a brooken canopy !
I hope the canopy of this set works well.

Regards.
