ScottsGT Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Maybe watch eBay for kits that are stripped for selling sprues? There’s a couple of sellers there now with sprues. Send them a message to see if they have what you need. Also, if not too long ago she got you the kit, are her bank accounts still active? Can the person that handled the estate look through the account info for hobby purchases? Why no barcode? Just none there or was it removed? Send pics of the box to Bachmann and show them no barcode? monthebiff and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Matt Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Hi Chris, Did you have any luck contacting HK models via their Facebook page? Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I doubt that’ll have any joy either. I lost a part for. B 17 F, my own fault and tried contacting HK to purchase the needed part…crickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got the Concorde kit and it’s missing the windscreen. Bought the kit used, told them to invoice me and then send it. Crickets also. Disclaimer: mine is the Airfix kit, but Heller is the only one currently in production. Same kit, different company. chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Any chance you can replicate or scratchbuild the part? Alternatively look at a 3D print or resin cast it. You could use an original part as a template. Someone might have a kit part they could lend you. Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichenson Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I may be able to help you both. I had purchased an extra G by mistake. I have been wanting to make Little Patches for quite some time. If you both can PM me what parts you need from the G and F, I can let you know what if I can spare those for a reasonable price.

I personally thank you very much! like you I (mistakenly) bought 2 kits (3 total) and ended up opening the spare kit “borrowing” a part from it and making a resin copy for the lost part. Long story short, I’m good. But thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
