Howdy Dave,

Youre quite welcome but I aint dead yet, I went to Little Rock (the state capitol) today to the hobby shops and one of the owners said that even though squadron couldnt get the "specific parts" I requested, He knew for a fact that they sell "vacu formed" canopies, so I am gonna contact them again, and ask about their vacu formed parts instead of asking for a specific part from revell monogram., However, again, it will be monday before the customer service dept is open again.
As for the nose cone....well, I am not sure what to do about that other than build your own. You could do like the train enthusiast do and, using a clay "mock up", and some liquid latex, build a mold and pour your own nose cone. you could shape the clay to the model to get the right shape and size, then make your mold and cast it in epoxy or something.
I am gonna keep looking I havent given up yet.

Have a good day,

Greg
