Damnit!!

I just discovered that I lost a piece for the Yamaha today, a piece for the radiator, I was priming/painting a few pieces yesterday, and I guess that I just forgot to pick it off the newspaper before I threw the newspaper out...and just my luck, the trash was taken out early today...

And now tamiyausa.com is down, so I have to wait before I can order a replacement, and I figure it'll cost me like $7 for one stinking little piece...



[EDIT]
Upon further inspection, this wasn't a crucial piece to the construction...the radiator fits fine to the frame without it, and the whole thing's gonna be covered by the shell anyway.

I guess I just needed to vent some frustration.

We all need to do that sometime. I was pissed when one of my mirrors went down a sink, but was lucky enough to get it back.

maybe its time to try out your scratchbuilding skills!!! Is it a complex piece?

It doesn't look too hard, look at the following diagram, it's D-9:



Only hard part might be the curve, and getting the exact measurements.

Hmmm that looks quite hard, mainly coz u have no reference other than the instructions. Time to get on the phone to tamiya and blag them into sending a replacement part.
