Part of my Caestus Assault Ram has broken off and I can't seem to find it! Does anyone have any ideas for replacing/recasting the right wing bit or is my Caestus doomed to single-wingdom?

Does anyone actually do FW vehicle bitz?

**Ouze**

Which part is it? I'm thinking a vane from the drop pod might work if trimmed, but need to see what's missing. Alternately, I'm sure Stormraven parts would work.

**Asmodai Asmodean**

It's the entire right wing section that has broken off above the missile launcher. I'm not sure plastic parts fit from the SR/DP because it's a completely different model

How badly is it broken? Using a strong epoxy to hold it together out of the question?

**Asmodai Asmodean**

Well the bit that was broken off has disappeared into the Warp somewhere, so no. I've searched my bag but must have dropped it somewhere on the way home from the GS.

Worst come to worst I'll just paint the bit black and weather it so it looks like it got shot off...

**Ouze**

I think something like this is going to be your best bet.

Well if you're feeling risky you could always cut away the other wing as well and create a replacement on both sides with maybe droppod bitz. This way you'll get at least two similar looking sides. The missle launcher will be hard to replace though.

Just contact FW. They are really good for replacement pieces, even if you are at fault. I had to get about half a thunderhawk replaced due to extreme warping/uncured resin pieces.

Even if they won't give it free, they can likely provide the piece at a very small cost, its not like you're asking for a 'cool' bit that would raise suspicions (a pre-heresy meltagun, dreadnought CCW, turret, etc)
