Decals applied. They turned out well, but are very thin and fragile.

looks certainly good with those decals 🙂

Bad luck....just messed up a part of the canopy. Cracked while sanding, so I had to be creative with smoke paint.

maybe you can ask AFV Club for a new one?

I sent them a message, but they don't seem to have the smoothest customer service 😉

good luck, you will need that with most customer services nowadays....but certainly worth trying. this beautiful F-5 deserves it 🙂

Re- the spares service, when I had similar issue, they referred me to the distributor for parts service..

Having built the saeqah 80 version of this which comes with two sets of canopies , one for the two seat version so that's 3 pieces . I used the second "main" canopy part after doing EXACTLY the same. The canopy snapped in half whilst polishing it . So I don't even have a spare I could send you. How about getting hold of a dirt cheap italeri kit off eBay? Open the canopy , you'll never notice 😉

Ok my mistake just studied the photos, I see it was the screen, still the italeri comment stands .
