Re: Plastic Canopy fix??

Just checked the HOB site... they ARE bringing back the P-47.. $60.00 for the kit.

I have a similar problem with a different canopy. I thought about doing what you suggest but learned from another modeler whose experience was "it doesn't work." That's as far as I got. You can get another canopy.

Yea, basically if you don't have the mold, heating will only result in bigger problems.

Try using a hair dryer set on maximum temperature. You might restrict the air inlet to raise the temp a little more but there is a risk of damaging the dryer. Since the canopy is essentially not usable, you don't have a lot to lose. This method will all but eliminate the whitish marks that result when a canopy is bent.

An alternative would be to put the canopy in boiling water for a few seconds or so to see if that causes the bent areas to return to the correct shape.
