I’m relatively new here and hope that someone can help me out.  A relative bought me a kit for the Swift 1805 Virginia Pilot Boat by Artesania Latina (copyright 1982).  Unfortunately, several pieces are missing - the false keel, hull frames and false deck. It almost looks like someone started the kit, didn’t finished and I’ve wound up with the remaining parts. 
 

Do you have any ideas on how I might replace the missing parts?

Two options -- neither very appealing, perhaps. If the kit has full-size drawings of the parts, then you can build them from scratch. Or -- trawl eBay for a second and hopefully complete kit. There's plenty of them, and usually can be had for cheap.

Thanks, Chris. I kind of figured that’s where this would land. If it were smaller, less significant parts I would remake them.  But doing the false keel, frames and decks is a bit too much of a challenge at this point.  Off to eBay.
