Title: MISSING PARTS
Post by: Second Air Force on April 10, 2011, 05:50:52 PM

Perhaps we should start a "missing parts" or "needed parts" thread for all our needs. I'm going to start this with a request of my own (of course).

I picked up an MPM SB-2, kit #72047, at an antique store and I am missing the top left wing half. It is item #3 in this photo, with the right half for reference.

If anyone has a spare or can steer me in the right direction to obtain one, I'd be in your debt. I suppose I can scratchbuild one, but the scribing and detail on the original is quite nice and I'd like to build the complete kit.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Whole wing... ?

Yes, the top half of the left wing. Evidently whoever originally owned the kit misplaced it or ? . The wing tree contains all four wing sections and four small ribs but only the one piece is missing. I may end up using the kit for parts but I would rather build it if I can find a replacement part.
