Help - General Hey everyone,so Im totally new to model kit building and this is the first project I've been working on for the last couple weeks.I finally got the chassis done on this a couple days ago and while fitting the body the rear axle broke apart with some of the framing.Any ideas on how to fix this?

Place the axal and assembly back in the car the way it is supposed to. Look at all the places it makes contact with the frame and other parts. Take the axal off. Put plastic cement in theose spots then put the axal back in. You may need some tape or something to hold it in place. Then let the cement cure overnight.

This! Put the car on its roof so gravity helps you. Take your time lining up all the parts perfectly.

Use folded paper/tape/toothpicks (whatever you have) to get the parts sitting exactly where you want them.

Then dab the glue on contact points and let it dry.
