I have recently purchased the above Hasegawa kit via eBay. (private seller has offered to make a refund). Unfortunately several of the clear plastic parts (from sprue "C") are missing (the main ones being the headlight lens). This is such a good looking kit I would like to purchase a replacement sprue. I've tried Amerang, Models for Sale with no joy. I cant see a contact address for Hasegawa Japan. Does anyone have any suggestions for a source please? Thanks  |

If you go to the HobbyLink japan website www.hlj.com they do have a replacment parts service. Only issue may be if the kit is no longer in production in which case you're relying on them having one 'lying around'. Happy Hunting THC |

Hi Bj,
Shame about your kit. It really builds into a nice model.
If you can't get replacements and you still want to keep the kit, as a last resort you could try sculpting the covers from Milliput and then using the patterns to vac-form replacements. You can hash up a simple vac-forming machine using a vacuum cleaner.
Don't think you can plunge-mould these as they have a concave top face.
I'm presuming you mean the light covers, not the lenses. If it is the lenses then it's a doddle to make replacements by plunge-moulding or smash-forming as some call it.
Regards
Dave
