speedbird Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just a quick question, hope it's in the right section but if not please feel free to move it..can anyone tell me if the airfix helldiver kit is still available/ in production? Like a muppet I've gone and lost the pilots windscreen from the one I had in the stash and can't build it without. Cheers guys mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 No, it's not in production and hasn't been for ages. But it came with 2 windscreens, IIRC one for the C-4 and one for the C-5, so there's a fair chance some kind soul on here will have one spare if you ask nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbird Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 I had a feeling someone would say that....I'm not sure the kit had two windscreens, mine didn't but it did have two canopies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right: I didn't recall correctly. It was the Dauntless that came with 2 windscreens (with and without hole for sight) - which helps you not one whit. Sorry.

stevehnz Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 This set of Falcon vac canopies has a replacement for the Airfix kit, if you don't feel like buying the whole set, ask if someone on here has the set but won't use the canopy.

Cheers guys mike A quick check of EBay shows quite a lot of them for sale and reasonably cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
