broken rear tailight!??/ fix?

I got another rear tailight from Supra tuner, just in case if mine didn't come out , or just incase something happened to mine.. and when i opend it was Cracked in 2.. is there any way to repair, or should i "chuck" it?

i think the glue from Testors for windows would work on that, it dries clear!


Ahh.. just another group for me to say F*** to


F*** the postal system

Very well saying that Joey, but it also comes down to how it was packaged.....:rolleyes:

I don't think clear parts cement will disguise the joint, IMHO the part is scrap....

ya its definetly scrap.. OOOORR would joey package it already broken and send it to me, blaming it on the post office?:rolleyes: :rolleyes:


Hm... what does AF think? should i get my money back (in trades)???????

How was it packaged??

Whenever I send model parts I always put them in a box, not in an flat pack or envelope, you have to compensate for the oafs at the postal service and package accordingly.

Hi, let me tell you guys a story.

As i was building my MB SLK i got to the end of the kit and was ready to apply the taillights. To my suprize i only found one. I have a cat and i KNOW she loves to take little things and hide them so i figured that part was long gone. Anyways as i was getting up i hear a crack, the part was now 2 peices.

I used Tamiya's Extra Thin Cement to get them together, nice and flush but you can still see the crack. Painting it just made it stand out more.

So anyways, if you find a technique let me know, because as far as i know, once you break it.... you have to tell your friends "i wanted a realistic model that contrasted the accidental collisions in our world, so the taillight represents that which is accidental"

Thanks

like ray siad it was in a flat envelope, im not paying $5 for shipping for a small part like that, but it was whole when i sent it

You could try watch crystal cement. It will bond the two together and not cause hazing on the plastic.

Any kind of protection inside of the envelope?

You should have taken the time to do it right. A small box with that inside couldn't cost more than two dollars to ship, heck I shipped a CD for $1.50.

So the actual truth is that the part was not packaged suitably, so how can you blame the post office?
Joey, like Dan said, shipping on a small box is not much, definitely not more than $1,50.

yea, but every time i go to the post office they charge a lot of money, when i sent rui the accord GTR they charged me $9.50 on regular shipping on a box the size of a regular Tamiya box, so i figured a box that small would be expensive

Integra14, Did u buy this piece? If so i believe u should be refunded by Supratuner.

If not then, i guess ur out of luck.:smoka:

no, i was trading a ITR air filter foor it
