i dropped the body for my Revell '40 ford. It broke the thin window piece and ruinied most of my putty work on the fenders. Should i order a new body or not?

How did you drop it? I don't really understand how that damage can come from dropping it.

just use some glue and "tack" it. once you get the window glued in place, it will be just fine

If you have any epoxy putty that would be the thing to use. Put a little ball of putty (I mean little) between the two broken halves and squish them together. Sand very lightly.

This is one reason why I hate convertables.
