I have a very old 1/16 scale Ertl Allis Chalmers D-17 that is in serious need of repair...trouble is, I have no good idea about how to go about it. The hitch is broken on one side of the casting.
As you can see, it's intact on one side, and completely gone from the other.
I have contemplated building it up with modeling clay, JB Weld, or trying to find some aluminum that I could bend, shape and fashion for the bulk of the repair. I am at a loss, having experimented a little with the clay and having little luck. Who has some ideas about a repair of this magnitude?
