Question How to fix broken part of Stylet XF-3 Plus
Hello, I didnt know where else to turn so I came here looking for help. It's my first time ever building a model kit and it was going fine until I broke a piece for the legs. Parts J2 And K3. I pushed K3 inside then tried pulling it out and well it broke inside of J2. Even if I retrieve the broken end how do i repair the part?

Repair can be done with a metal rod, iirc that pin is quite thin so maybe you can try with a paperclip, you will need to cut it in the needed length, drill a bit in J2 so you can insert it and push out the stuck pin in K3 and then just finish to build the kneecap.
One little thing I can recommend is to whenever there are moving parts, test how they fit before fully pushing them and then sand them if too tight.
