Hello All. Long time, no read! Recently started goin' through my 1:18 stuff after letting the 1:1 world rule for a while and in doin' so picked up a 21st Century P-38 (Green Samantha Peyton version) and it has (from what I can tell anyway) most of the parts it's supposed to come with. Well, except of course the mid-section of the canopy. After staring at it I'm between convincing myself I can fashion one on my own or cross my fingers and hope either someone out there make's 'em or can offer a hint as to where (if anywhere) they can be found.
Thanks,
John

Bump...
Cause my options are
(1) Make one of my own because it really is a cool lookin' aircraft
(2) Find a spare/made/molded version for sale
(3) Someone has a 1:18 Zero that they aren't real partial to and wanna trade for a cool lookin' P-38 (Hey, a guy can hope ya know)

I have a Samantha Peyton P-38 I've been selling for parts. I gather the part you need is the clear flip up roof for the middle section? I imagine your model still has the sliding glass doors on each side of the middle section? If you could post a picture of the canopy, showing the missing part(s) that would help clarify.
