Can someone help ? I need to replace the clear sprue canopy for the 1/72 Slave 1 finemolds model. I tried e-mailing finemolds to ask them for a replacement piece but no luck at all. I've also tried other sources and attempted to make the canopy myself I will pay for who ever makes this clear piece for me.

Contact hlj, I read some people were able to get replacement parts for FM kits this way.

Out of production would be my guess.

I'm sure I've seen someone casting a clear part to replace a damaged canopy.... try searching here for any builds, I can't remember who it was.

I might have seen it at SFM or SMA.... I'll let you know if I spot it again.

PM sent regarding a guy who helped me out with a FM part before. Beware, it's retail.
