Anybody know where I can find a replacement set of "glass" for Revell's German made Tiger Meet AS320 Puma in 1/32 scale?

One window is broken, and I don't really want to track down and buy another entire expensive kit just for the window.

Squadron has some good products, but no 1/32 Puma canopies.

Thanks for the help

Try writing to or emailing Revell and they will probably send you a new set of canopies for it. I had to do that for the Revell 1/32 AH-64 Apache a while back. I got it pretty quickly.
Her is the link to thier .

This link will take you to the Revell Germany contact page. I think with that kit, since it is a RoG kit, you'll have to ask them.

Maybe I should have gone further in depth.

Yes, I wrote the U.S. Revell company, who said it was a discontinued product and it was not possible. They referred me to the German Revell, who never answered my request. I guess it's been a while, maybe I could give them another shot.

As far as the vacuum forming thing. I don't know anyone around here who could do it. I'm not sure about the exact process, and hope there is an easier alternative to learning a new trade and destroying my wife's vacuum cleaner in the process.

I was hoping maybe somebody knew a good aftermarket company I could order from. I tried Squadron, but I guess a 1/32 Puma is a pretty obscure item.

Thanks for the links- gonna give them another try.
