stevej60 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Sometimes the missus is right I am a complete A**e,I got her matt coated(the model not the missus) and instead of just fitting the canopy and accepting it was a poor fit had to tinker on sanding,scraping and finally snapping the Bl***y thing,so another dead end build I'm afraid,just to add to the gloom I missed today's GB deadline for my two Phantom's,never mind in the best traditions of James Bond I will return a few days away from the bench should re-charge the batteries and I really need to spend time sorting the garden out for it's winter hibernation.

The other option is reassembling the broken kit part and using it as a master (with clay or putty backup) to smash-form a replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Crikey that is a shame Steve, would it not be worth putting a wanted as in the buy and sell threads to see if anyone has a spare? All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I agree. See if someone can help. It's been one of those weeks. You and your canopy and me with my cowling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
