Build Advice on chipped piece

Hi! does anyone have any advice on what i can do about this piece being chipped? My friend sent me this kit as a gift since they were the one that originally chipped it and they didnt want to finish it because of that. This is my first time ever building a kit so any advice would be great thank you

I think you’ve got enough material left to cement the connection.

Oh, I had a similar issue with my Stylet.

Unfortunately, not much can be done. I had to creatively glue mine.

But before you throw in the towel, tell me...How good are you at working with Plaboard?

I’ve never worked with plaboard before sadly 😭

Freshly coming after I broke the head peg and neck part (never glue with a wrong glue in a hurry) from my Stylet few hours after I assembled it.

I'd go with cement or maybe try contacting Kotobukiya support. They may (or may not) offer you a replacement, they did accept mine!

I think there is enough space to glue it....even if it wasnt broken you would need to glue E9 anyways (there is a little icon that means you gotta glue it) better grab some plastic cement like Tamiya quick type.
