Greetings All,
I’m working on a 1/48 scale T-33A made by Academy. In working on my aircraft, I accidentally ruined the front transparency (i.e. the front windscreen).
I’m wondering……short of buying another kit is there a way to order individual parts or part trees?
I’d like my T-Bird to have a front windscreen, but the one that came with my kit isn’t very useful to me now. ๐
Thanks for any and all help.

Actually I should have edited my post because I found the Academy site and sent them an e-mail shortly after posting. I hope they respond.
Until I destroyed the front windscreen, it was shaping up to be a really good looking bird. I think it’s probably a better kit than the Testors version (which I did years ago).

I didn’t know Academy makes a 1/48th T-33.
Any better than the ancient, much beloved Hawk/Testors kit?
I loved those as a kid when they were chrome plated…made into a great model especially with the RCAF decals

Cooper.
A nanosecond of Googling got me the Academy website which I will give the link to below. Click on the heading ‘about the company’ and it will give you contact details.

Easy peasy.
Edited to add link several hours later cos I’m stoopid. Hope this helps.

I’ll pay for a replacement part, I don’t really care. I just would like for my T-Bird to have a front windscreen. ๐
If anyone has a good idea for a first step please through it my way. Does Academy a phone number or something I could call to inquire about this?

Years ago some model manufacturers used to put a form in their boxes so you could request replacements for any parts that were missing or badly formed.
I take it Academy donโt do thisโฆor are you too honest? ๐

change of location
Might want to post this up in the Model section also. I would try contacting the manufacturer or searching online for after market addons?
