Sorry, I can't hook you up with those parts, but I do have a suggestion for it: I obviously don't know how bad the warping is on the wing, but you could try a little heat transfer to salvage it. If we're talking plastic parts, light a candle, or a lighter, and hold the flame (carefully) near the effected area. Once it heats up and is plyable, gently bend the plastic as desired. I hope this helps!

safer than flame.

RLM 66 would be the cockpit interior color, bad luck on the Plastic Weld deluge. Been there done that... Evil [}:)]Sad [:(]Dead [xx(]Angry [:(!]Disapprove [V]Black Eye [B)]

I've always had great luck asking the manufactures or the Importers for replacement parts, for any reason they always come through for me, should give the a try,

Ah, the Tenax Torrent, huh?

My AH-1F narrowly missed a similar dousing a few weeks ago. Why is it they make the bottle SO easy to knock over? Can't help ya on the Heinkel parts. If it were 48th scale, I've got plenty of Uhu spares, but not in 72nd.

Good luck with the salvage!

it wasnt tenax. it was far stronger. its so soft i can squeeze it till ( its been around 3 days) liquid plastic comes out, i can dent it with a piece of graphite from a pencil.

Cobra: what parts in 48th scale?

and the best cement bottel is tamiya: its FLAT and all the weight is at the bottem.

and they make the bottle so easy to tip so they spill and then you have to buy another bottel of $7 doller cement

Try boring a hole in a block of wood, or a block of styrofoam, for the bottle of glue to set in. I have not knocked over a bottle of glue since I did this. It took a few ruined models for me to learn this. Losing the $7 bottle of glue is not so bad, but the $25, $50, or $100 model that gets ruined really hurts! rangerj
