Very interesting. I just faced the same issue, and used same solution. Part is missing and duplicated with bluestaff/milliput. 144 too.

Hi Spanjaard - how did that work out for you? As one of the photos show, I broke my copy trying to remove to much flash in one go. Tiny, fragile stuff.

well, removing the flash is really tricky, i had similar problems. and if the part is thin, it is very easy to break. i made several copies with 2 different putty bland. And eventually got one to work. it broke, but i could still use the pieces since they do not need to support any weight, unlike the one you are duplicating. in your case, i would have may tried to add a piece of wire inside of the putty, to make it more resistant
about the canopies that you are trying, i would make the one with putty, and then cut a piece of thin wood almost to fit completely. then staple the plastic to it, warm it up as much as you can, and then press it against the puty to get the right size. i did that a couple of times ages ago, and for example manage to make a decent canopy for a Mig-29 in 1/72, and a dome for a scratchbuild project. a very very long time ago.

Thanks for advice about canopies. That is pretty much what I did, except I used a piece of cardboard instead of wood. Yes - next time I will use something harder then cardboard, but I think my main mistake was to let to much putty on the outline of the die. This prevented the plastic from sticking closely to the right part of the die.
