Hello all,

I am building the 1/700 Trumpeter Bismarck. Working on the lower hull and to my surprise I have a broken/missing prop shaft
Half of the prop shaft is there but the other part is completely gone. I was thinking of scratchbuilding the missing piece, but it looks to complicated to get it exactly right.

I wrote to the company but they said that they need proof of purchase (receipt) and where I purchased it. Well, no receipt because I had it on my shelf for almost two years and clueless to where I got it

Anyone know where I could get this part, without buying a whole new kit? Not sure if there are photo etch parts for it, but I dont want to go that rout. Or would anybody have the piece in there spare part collection. I would be happy to pay for it

Thanks so much!
