wm_cheng Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi all, I cracked my canopy at the end of my build and was hoping I can either buy just the canopy and decals for the canopy parts from someone's stash of parts or buy an entire kit for these parts; HASEGAWA 1/72 F/A-18F Super Hornet “VFA-103 Jolly Rogers” (00853) I realize the kit is discontinued, my other resort is to buy a current Hasegawa F/A-18F kit for the canopy and try to buy a sheet of aftermarket decals with the proper pilots names in white for the canopy rails. I realize this is a long shot, but I had to try. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 If you don't have any luck Try Lightspeed Global for the parts. My friend needed the nose sprue for a kit and they were able to get it for him in about 2 weeks. That time will be a LOT longer now as his dealings were pre-virus. Below are instructions direct from their website. Like you said If its discontinued just use a current kits info to obtain the parts. Can I order replacement parts? We cannot make any guarantees about replacement parts, however we will try to source them. Please email info@lightspeedglobal.ca and indicate the following: Brand Model / Model Number Part Your contact information, including name, phone number and shipping address Note: The average cost for a replacement part, including shipping and handling, will be $15 within North America. Exact charges will be determined once we have the part and your shipping address. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wm_cheng Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thanks, I already have emailed lightspeedglobal.ca asking for the part. Its the long weekend here and I'm not even sure if they are operating during this pandemic, but I am waiting with baited breath! Thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
