Default Yak 54 cowl

where can i find a replacement cowl for this plane?

http://texasrcplanes.com/arfyak543dblue.html

it is the same plane sold by nitromodels.com but i got it for cheaper at texasrcplanes.com.. i stupidly put the cowl on with velcro only and the vibrations rattled it loose and it got into the prop and almost cost me the plane!! it flies fine without the cowl of course, but doesn't look as nice! where could i find a replacement? thanks!

Velcro on a cowl????? I drill 5/32 holes, install round servo grommets in them and then use washers on my screws or 4-40 cap screws. This suspends the cowl in rubber and keeps the holes from wearing larger. Sorry, but can't help with the new cowl though.
