                        I think it's a safe bet to say that if I ever found all of my lost pieces, I could make a tank with 50 wheels!

                        If your house is anything like mine, in a coupla weeks you'll trip over a toy, feel a strange pain in your face and find the wheel embedded in your cheek.Black Eye [B)]

                        i lost a road wheel on my churchill, took me a while to find it. turns out it was caught between the spurs in the box, so when i would lift them up look in the box, i would not see it.

                        Do what I do when it appears to be lost forever find a panty hose put it over the end of a small shop vac and volia! it is held in place by the suction. Its amazzing what else you find when you do this.

                        What I like to do is buy a kit to replace it with, build the second kit, but don't take your time, throw it together. Then take out to the back yard and blow the cr*p out of it.Mischief [:-,]Big Smile [:D]

                        I can't tell you how many times I've lost a piece of a model in my 'model room'! Fortunately I have a broom and a dustpan. If I search (sweep the floor) long enough I usually find the part I'm looking for. Hardly ever fails, so that any more if something is missing I just get the broom out, without thinking, and start sweeping. Sure enough it'll show up. Sorta of an opposite to Murphy's Law.

                        no its not gone forever
                        it will turn up when you've had enough of the kit and shashed it or when you get a replasment wheel

                        It happens all the time. Buy the same kit and that missing roadwheel will show up. It never fails...

                        Hey all...

                        About a week ago I was working on my 1/72 Haseqawa panzer IV ausf. F1 kit and somehow I lost one of the road wheels. I had the model in my hand and I was walking around the house browsing for a tool then I came back to my room and discovered that one of the road wheels were missing. I spent a good two hours looking for this thing and had no luck. I know for a fact, I'll never find it again. It's probably gone forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.... lol
