You'll probably be better of buying a new one...............John

You can polish it with automotive scratch remover, or plastic scratch remover. It takes about 5 or 6 applications and a lot of rubbing!

Alot of times you can get stuff like canopies from other manufacturers that will fit your planes. If the planes are the same scale. Depending on the size of your plane, check into TopFlite, or GreatPlanes, as they have several sizes of planes on the market. Or possibly other companies....you might not necessarily need the origianal. Hope this helps....:)

You can start with 600 grit wet dry sandpaper wet, entirely then switch to 1000, then 1500, then finish with 2500 all wet sanded. Then apply a gloss clear coat and you will have a nice clear canopy.
