Lost one of my T tops of my Model Karr!

[whet]

Dam I have one of my little T tops of my Karr missing.
Think it must have happened whilst the room was cleaned.

I have looked high and low for it.

But if I can't find it I suppose the only way I could replace it would be to get a complete new model

anybody had a problem with this?

Sorry to hear that. My 1:18 KITT almost lost one T-top too when I took it outdoors to photograph, wind catched one T-top and almost sent it in a lake.

A tip on doing T-Tops on models (so you don't "loose" another T-Top)

http://www.fuzziedice.com/models/trigger/index.html

Scroll down to Step 9: "Final" Assembly

This is something I did on a '77 T/A model and might help.

Also, you COULD try fashioing a new T-Top using just plain sheet styrene. Draw out on paper around the existing t-top piece. Then FLIP OVER the pattern and use it as a guide to cut out the other T-Top. Might not be exact, but at least it's a cover.

Outside of that, try Slix Decals, inc. :

This site also sells individual parts for car models. They MIGHT have a t-top to fit your model or you could call them and see if they have any in stock or know where to get them.

Thanks.

good advice much appreciated.

I noticed that the T-tops on my 18th scale KITT come off really easy. I know if I take it anywhere I need to take the tops off and put them in a safe place.

Here's some other advice for 1/18 ertl cars. Put your T-Tops in the trunk since they come off so easily.

I have a limited supply of T-top panels which are excess waste when I create convertibles, please contact me if can pay with UK (GBP currency for postage etc.)

Thanks Andy-Kitt, I havd some luck i got out of bed for work, and the last thing I thought about was the T top, but there is was just under my beside unit

It's always strange how something you have lost turns up least when you exspect it, try and be more carful from now on.
