    Model Expo does, in fact, manufacture their own line of kits.  It sounds like Barry's kit is one of them.

 

    Without knowing the full extent of the breakage, I need to 'wing it'.  This is dealing with the broken extensions only.

 

    If you still have them, just glue them back on.  I would recommend drilling a small hole in both pieces and inserting a pin.  I prefer bamboo sanded to size using a dremel.

 

    The other problem is ensuring the piece is correct.  Make a template of the bulkhead and use it to ensure the extension is aligned.

          Thank-you, thank-you...I had made a template from the plans and will do as you suggest...I have five to repair, (or replace)..I will start one tomorrow...When Model Expo gets back with me, I will probably replace them and start from scratch as I have everything else...BUT in the meantime, I will do exactly as you suggest...!! Again thanks ...

I would  give ModelExpo more than a day..  

  They can have as much time as they want, I wasn't complaining about MpdelExpo..I was asking about repairing the extensions..

I have had the Model Expo U.S.S. Constitution on a building board for the past decade..Since building the keel and attaching the bulkhead the model just sat..After two moves and changing several dry-docks for the Connie. she has had several of the extensions broken off...I have contacted Model Expo about purchasing the parts for a new keel ect. and bulkheads but so far they have not yet responded...(Its only been a day)..Any suggestions on rebuilding them..?  Thanks..
