Default Old Model

Stephen Fox, I thought that you might find this model of interest. My dad worked for de Haviland back around 1940 and this was made by a co-worker. Part of this model was said to have been made from a piece of the first Hurricane to crash during the war.
Regretably the screw threads that held the three pieces together are stripped and the prop boss is missing. I'd love to at least get it re-assembled but have been reluctant to super glue it. I'm not sure that whether I would replace the original decals or not.
