That's actually pretty ironic. It seems like every time something like that happens, I find another way to do the same without losing the piece. I plan to build Academy's 1/72 F15E Eagle Strike Eagle as soon as I finish my current build(1/12 Tamiya Yamaha YZF R1). For any really small parts on the F15, I plan to use an old pencil or something similar with reverse wrapped painter's tape. I will stick the part to that until it is in place or damn close to it. I use old plastic straws wrapped with reverse wrapped tape to hold small parts for painting. Works great. Build and learn. It is fun to learn something everyday at my age. That would be 70. Damn I'm old. LOL
