Welcome to FSM Sam. Can’t help you with your Zero problem but if you ask around the Aircraft Forum, I’m sure someone will be able to help you out.
Enjoy the forums !!!
Welcome to the forum, Sam. We got a few things in common here. I’m semi-old (48), I build 1/48 WW II aircraft, and I was a sound engineer for 20+ years, doing mostly hi-power (5-10,00 watt) hard rock. Sorry I can’t help you on the canopy. All my Zekes are Hasegawa, & they only give you 1 canopy. Did you try checking www.squadron.com for a vac replacement ?
Good luck, I’ll see you over at the aircraft pages. Have fun !
thanks for the advice about thesquadron. thats probobly the easy way to go.i need to start building a few planes from japan and germany,so far every thing is american.anyway,thanks for the advice.
Welcome to the forums, Sam!
hey eric I’m more of a plane nut but Ido think the tiger is a very cool looking tank.i wish there were more vehicles in 1/48th.if I can find them i’ll send some pictures of half tracks and motorcycles from the federick Md. airshow

Hi Sam,
Nice to have you here with us. Welcome.
Hiya Sam,
1/48 scale American, WWII aircraft? That’s very interesting. I, too am into these magnificent warbirds! I’m from Texas and know a little bit about the blues. Who are some of you favorite artists?
Over
Sam, welcome to the FSM forums. Hope to see your posting on the Aircraft side.
