Hi
I have the KittyHawk 1/32 OV10D kit. Thanks to my cat (who jumped up on my table) I now have a cracked top canopy panel,wich needs replacement. I have mailed KittyHawk on both contact adresses without any reply. Do you know if there is any possible way to get a new clear part short of buying a new kit?

Hi Pål

I've alerted our Kitty Hawk contact, Glen Coleman, to your plight. Hopefully he can sort things out.

All the best

Many thanks Glen

5 minutes - if that! Now that's what I call true customer-care!

All the best

Six weeks, three mails and still no feedback Shall I proceed with the build and make a dio with a mechanic polishing the canopy and thus obscuring the crack with a rag?

Hi Glen
Any feedback on this? Still haven't heard a word. I wonder if it's just to bite the sour apple and proceed with the build, despite the cracked top panel.
