Does anyone know where you can get repro windscreens for the Tomahawk?
I have a busted one and would rather not end up with yet another Tomahawk junker to get the part I need. |

I think because of the size and shape of that part, you are going to be hard pressed to find repros of it. If you do, they will be expensive. You might just want to keep an eye out for junkers on ebay that you can strip parts from. But if you are looking for one with no broken tabs, that will be a challenge.

What's wrong with yours, exactly? Actually cracked or just beat.

I don't have the Eaglehawk side by side with the Tomahawk, but I am pretty sure the tabs are different. After all, they spend some time making the Eaglehawk less prone to breakage. It stands to reason they addressed the canopy as well. Not to mention that the Eaglehawk canopy is blue and not clear.

If it's just one of the tabs broken off, take crazyglue and put a bead on the broken spot where the tab was. Let it dry, then keep repeating until you build up a "new" tab. If you make it to thick you can use an exacto to shape it.
If the canopy is scraped up, you can use a car buffer to shine them up. Use model sanding pads(really small grain) and rub down the surface smooth. Then take a car buffer and turn it upside down and run it. Hold the canopy in your hand and keep buffing it until you get the desired shine. You can check out my custom tomahawk album on my member page. That canopy was BEAT and scratched up badly. I didn't know if it would work but gave it a try, nothing to lose. Came out good as new.
