How to be stupid modeler

[No.1]

Well... in my life I have lost two cockpit canopy. The first one was from my first kit ever, I buy it on excursion to Sarajevo long time ago, I think in 1974. That was the kit of SAAB J-35 Draken, scale 1/100 East Germany manufacturer VEB. I was so warmed to see what it have inside and in the bus where we was, canopy stay forever.

Few days ago I lost canopy of the Revell Me 262 night fighter... I was get it from frame to fit the rear spin cover and after that it have to be inside box again. But it is not Detailed search in home did not help.

I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I have a theory that kit parts are momentarily disintegrated as soon as they touch the floor (or anything else). (I've lost husband's canopy of Japanese Zero  )

Maybe you are right- they find some hole and being in the moment disappear into another dimension and time.

How about to copy the canopy from other model?

[No.1]

Yes! But I have no other canopy to do that. Long time ago I have order from Squadron their Clear Thermaform clear sheets and copy of teh canopy was my regular way. This is very good option...

[TanjaKisa]

Could it be of help if I borrow you Heller/Humbrol's canopy? Have one in my stash (just have to dig to get it...)
