Advanced Modeler – Modeling Competition 2017 5 years, 11 months ago So I ran into a problem.Remember that I cut away the control surfaces to replace them with better resin ones. I’ve discovered that the two ailerons in the upgrade kit are both for the right wing. Yay.
So I went to contact the manufacturer and discovered that they went out of business in 2008. Yay.
Time for some searching. I have a pic for you though! Yay!

Glue them back on. I do that sometimes. Pick it out of garbage, glue, putty, sand, etc. Epoxy putty even. Or even scratch build it from spare parts.
They are so inconsiderate, we should go there, stand outside and make them re open for business for a few hours just to make the parts you need then they can go back out of business just so you can finish your build.
I am making a really nasty sign to hold up with bad words on it right now!!!!.
That will show em!!!. 😉
But in all seriousness i do feel your pain.
The ones I cut off are toast. I’m going to see about tracking down another set. They have really nice detail. If it comes to it though I might cut the parts I need off of one of my other builds.
My resin su-33 cockpit was made for Trumpeter so it took me more work to fit Hasegawa. I agree if you buy an orange, you get an orange.
Ha ha 😛
I have to pull myself together! Okay, got this. 🙂
An idea: you could buy the same kit again, use the missing part from that kit, finish the contest build. And build the new build later on for fun. Maybe different color scheme and decals from 3rd-party even.
