G-Man Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I just acquired a sealed Ju 88A-1 kit on Ebay but 2 of the canopy pieces are broken in half. How do I go about repairing these, or should I wait for Revell to start offering replacement parts again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 L'arsenal offers A-4 canopy, so maybe that could fix your problem unless it HAS to be an A-1 http://www.larsenal.com/grappe-de-pieces-cristal-pour-le-junkers-88-a-4-a-5-d-2-au-1-32-c2x23005446 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an option. Still would need to figure out the other broken piece, it's on the bottom. I may be able to conceal it as part of it gets painted.

1to1scale Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Glue it back together, cut out the broken sections, and replace it with clear acetate squares. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acetate is that flexible clear plastic that you might see in shirt boxes, or other forms of packaging. Kev SCRATCH BUILDER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might also dip the broken pieces in future and then glue them back together, just to see how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isar 30/07 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 G-Man, if interested then PM me the numbers of the damaged parts. Maybe I have them in my spare box as I did a C-4 nightfighter and a Mistel. Cheers Reimund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
