There is no 100% fix. If you know the kit maker you could ask for a replacement or source a aftermarket part. 


You could glue the join but the crack would always be visible.

Alright, thanks for help!

One way around is to do it on the ground and add a tarpaulin over it, looks like a glass section for a gun, what plane is off?

I've used G S Hypo cement to fix a canopy and the result was acceptable, but not perfect.


I've seen it suggested that clear varnish can be used. but I couldn't make this work at all.

This is 1:32 Revell Junkers Ju88 A-4's glass part. I try my best to fix it, i will update progress soon.

Right, the rear section of the canopy. I have had a look and cannot find any aftermarket canopies for this model, doesn't mean there are not any, just I haven't been successful.


Hope you get it sorted.

id try using old formula Kleer to 'glue' it together.....then dip the whole thing in it

Well I guess that as good a place as any to start would be here http://www.revell.de/en/service/service-form/model-building.html


They are normally pretty good.
