This is a Gaz-66 roof and as you can see, it is damaged at its edges, how do I fix this? the piece is about 1mm thick and I don't think putty will work good in this case. Thanks in advance

Paul, do you have any strip styrene or some scrap from another kit? If so, you could cut the scrap pieces just a bit bigger than needed, glue them in place, let dry over night, than sand down even with the rest of the roof.

just an idea but dont try to fix them now..you can try to fix them using epoxy when you glued them to the other parts .

Another approach: Glue some plastic strip under the roof, with the ending projecting out farther than the original piece. Fill the gaps with CA glue. Then sand everything flush.
