KEB Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I started building Hasegawa's 1/48 RF-4B Phantom and removed the fuselage sprue from the plastic and looking closely at the fuselage halves noticed the the fuel dump at the bottom of the tail has been broken off of one of the halves, along with some damage to the tail looked in the plastic bag and it's not in there nor the box....appears to have been broken off prior to it's packaging, so...I'm looking for some help, is it possible to contact Hasegawa asking for a replacement sprue, or does anyone out there know of any aftermarket part to replace it? Thank for reading! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Happened to me dozens of times. Check the bags the plastic was shipped in. Just glue it back on. If you can't find the tiny part just glue some stretched spue to the good half when you assemble the fuselage. Then sand to shape. Just like the wing of the Hornet that tiny part breaks all the time.

jelliott523 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Had a similar problem with the Hasegawa F-4G kit, sent an email and they shipped the entire fuselage sprues. I will say, it took almost 4 weeks for it to get here, as it was shipped directly from Japan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
