Slik-Fly canopy required - help please
Not sure if I have posted in the best place. No doubt the moderator could kindly reposition it if required.
I am just about to build a Phil Kraft Slik-Fly. The only problem there seems to be is in getting a canopy. Has anyone ideas on A/Getting an original if one is still about (They were Produced in Kent by G.T. Models but alas are no more) B/Getting one tailor made. Its not worth spoiling the ship (OK plane) for the sake of a few things like getting a canopy that looks proffesional. Does anyone know who could produce an original?

There is a supplier of bubble canopies in England http://www.vortex-vacforms.co.uk/canopies.htm I don't know if their standard bubble canopies are the right shape & size, but I think they also make specials. In any case a good source of many cowls and canopies it seems.
