Is Tri Star models still in business? I ruined a hull on a Panzer IV and I am trying to get replacement parts. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Theres plenty of these available on Ebay and the likes (the original Pzr IV kit) at quite decent prices. A resin copy probably wont work out cheaper, especailly if you have to buy resin and mould material.
How ruined is the hull .... is it salvagable? Can it be modelled damaged? Can it be hidden by stowage?

Thank you for your replies - I got my Dad to help me fix it. He pulled it all apart and re-glued it. It looks pretty decent. Thanks again....
