Nope, don’t have one but there are several options:

Got to Monogram-Revel’s website and try ordering a replacement part.

Or- order a Zero canopy from Squadron.com

Good luck.

If your Zero is Dark Blue plastic & covered in rivets, it’s the same one I built recently. It seems to date from the sixties, though it had an 80’s copyright moulded into it. I built a Tamiya Zero at the same time and used the Tamiya to correct the Monogram. I added about 2mm in length at mid fuselage, and about the same to the tailfin. I built a cockpit and used a Tamiya canopy, which fits with a few fuselage mods, the Monogram one is hopelessly overthick.
People who keep knocking a certain British model company really ought to have a look at this kit (No names, we’ll protect the innocent. And lawyers are not getting a penny out of me!!)
PS yes, I know the Tamiya is an M2 & the Monogram an M5, but the fuselage is the same (ish)

If this helps at all I purchased the 1/32 Corsair kit and it was missing a canopy. I wrote to Revell/Monogram, gave kit number, and explained I was missing a canopy. I recieved one in the mail a week later. Worth a try anyhow…

If you’ve got the realy old one (1960’s version, Kit No 6799), then there isn’t at P/N. I kept most of the instruction sheets from old Monogram kits I built as a kid. Inspite all their vices, they where great to learn on.

I have that kit, and I won’t be building it. You can have the whole kit if you want it. Email me directly at amsnaproll@zoomtown.com, and we can work out the details.
