Hi everyone,I purchased the victory as a full kit from someone who started to build it and realised it was out of their league and sold it to me.I recieved the kit and discovered that the partially built hull had been pulled apart(creating a lot of damage)mainly to a number of ribs which were snapped.I have managed to repair the damage and continue the build but have discovered some parts are missing altogether and I will need to replace them.How is the best way to obtain the missing parts?I have been to the uk website to make enquiries but have not recieved a reply as yet,the australian website has been shut down.I only need 5 or 6 bits to get going and hope I dont need to buy full back issues for each bit as this will prove expensive.Any advice would be helpful and im sure to be a regular on this forum

Spare parts are only sold as complete back issues rather than individual parts. Therefore any part you need should be requested as part of the issue it is supplied with.
International shipping should be able to provide the issue content needed, but it could be expensive depending on how many back issues you need, eBay could be worth searching as a less costly alternative.
Hope you enjoy your build.
