Thanks Bruce.

I've got sharp eyes for a lot of things in any given model build but one thing I guess I DON'T have an eye for is to make sure that I've got all the parts in the kit box. I was missing the grill and both bumpers from the kit. Now how does a guy miss that?

I didn't waste any time once I found out as I've already got those parts on the way to me. Should all be here tomorrow.

Ever do something stoopid on modeling?? I did!! I had finally pulled the trigger and bought this cool HOLY GRAIL kit that I've been wanting for a LONG time. I was so excited when I got the kit to finally have it and TOTALLY failed to inventory the parts. What I ended up missing were some of the most key parts of the kit that WEREN'T there!!! OMG!!!!

I'll be leaving some nasty feedback on ebay for the seller.

I managed to get all of these parts from a friend on the forums. They came in the mail today. Any guesses at what the parts are??

Have I ever done anything real stoopid in modeling? HA! All the time!

At least you got the parts you need. I need to find a particular part myself now if I want to finish my space shuttle.

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

My guesses would be the front grille and / or the rear bumper. Glad you got that handled, bud. I had to mix and match parts from several AMT / ERTL TOS Enterprise Kits. This took donations from friends and a wonderful reseller who had a whole stock of busssard parts—which he sent me gratis. And then there is the kindness of the forums, which I know first hand. People are amazing!

You can say that again Bruce, forum members are making in their kindness. Every one of you guys here especially.

Glad to see you've got the parts count back under control

It is a great thing with folks amongst us in the hobby on these forums can come together and help each other out. I would've had to buy a whole new kit and these kits right here are NOT cheap by any means at $50 +. Every once in a while there's a good deal but it aint often.
