      Are you talking the whole canopy including foam base etc or just the clear acrylic. You may have to buy the FMS or Arrows hobby clear acrylic bit and make it fit the FW base if you still have it !!!!

          Hi Paul. Yes, I'm talking the whole canopy including the foam base. Good question and I'll edit my want ad to specify that point so it's more clear to folks.
          I hadn't thought about buying the FMS canopy to see how it fits. Thanks for the tip.
          I'm pretty adept at carving foam. So if I cannot adapt the fms canopy I'll just have to carve a complete one out of foam. Hadn't thought of that option either b/c I'm so focused on a FW replacement . Thanks for that tip too.
          I did however think of 3D printing one but that would make it too nose heavy so that option is out.

          Cheers.

              Look here https://www.sarikhobbies.com/product/f86-sabre-canopy/ You can ask them if this will fit it says approx 14.5 inch x 3.5 inch so it should be close enough to work with and you can make the base with a few ply formers and 1/16th balsa. It says they ship worldwide
