Default Good and bad news

Hello everyone, the bad news first. Unhappy with the Armour Phantom F4 {see earlier posts} i decided to send it back but had thrown away the locking screws but as i had all the original packaging i thought it would be safe enough. It seemed secure but on receipt i was sent an e-mail to say it had been received damaged and would be returned to me in that condition. I have yet to see the damage but it seems part of the tail plane had broken off. I guess i was stupid to send it back without the screws as i suppose they would not use them if they were not needed. Do you think this is repairable, is there a glue that would do the job?
Now the good news. On Sunday i called in to my local pilot shop to collect a magazine and as usual had a look in the window. I was immediately drawn to a group of aircraft on display. Armours! Loads of them! Phantoms, Harriers, Fulcrums, ME262s, B17s the place was full of them, i was 'like a kid in a sweet shop'. Unfortunately i had just been to the supermarket and the ice-cream was starting to melt so i only had time for a quick look but i will be in again this week so can have a good play and choose another model. I have to say i liked the look off the Mig29. No more shipping costs and i can get a good look at what i am buying first. Great stuff!
If anyone has any tips on repairing the damaged Phantom then i would love to hear them.
Sorry for the long post.
Gudgey.
