**** Dan, that's bad. Lemme look around.

Try Squadron? If it was 1/48th I'd be able to bail you as I have a couple sitting around.

On a second look, it's exactly where you'd paint, so if you can glue it, I think you'll be ok. Testors makes glass glue, so try that? I don't know what else to tell you. It obviously won't be strong, but it'll work.

Cory, I think that your offer will be the best solution if you have a few of them .Also it cam be possible to get a contact with the model manufacturer and try to ask for help.
On the other hand, there is always possibility of making it yourself.
 
Dan I have this kit in the stash not building anytime soon,you have mine and try something with Trump down the road for a replacement.I am off Tuesday if you want to hook up.Cheers Kevin

What about Claudette?was that quick?
 
Thanks guys.....

Kevin, can u PM me ur phone number again so we can figure out where to meet???

Got the gloss coat pretty much squared away for the decal portion of our ride... Also got the scratch built springs for the gear made and the flap spacers made,glossed and sprayed blue.... Also got the prop tips sprayed yellow and glossed, ready to be taped off and sprayed black.... Gunsight HUD will get sprayed black over alum same time as props... Front canopy is also painted and glossed...

Sorry I'm late to the party!! Dan, that is fantastic looking!

1. The canopy should be able to fix up nice. There is Clear glue for canopies and such by Testors that will do good to glue it back. I would aslo suggest using that tape that you have masked with, to make a brace where the crack is - it'll appear as a brace when painted and give support to the joint.

2. I don't know if it helps at this point but if you check my dauntless thread, I mafe a pastel wash of some colors that came out great. Of course I practiced on a Wildcat I haven't finished in the same blue color. But if it will help, that technique worked real well for me.

Looks awesome!!!
