So... what, he dropped it, then didn't bother to pick up and preserve the broken pieces?

Ffff.... 
You* could buy a second kit, clean up the break and make a donor for the rear. It would also get you spares for the other bits. Expensive, but you could use the rest of the kit to make a Jakku junkyard version with a tarp to cover the bits you stole!

Basically, we were going to use it in the china cabinet of an opera. The main character is a model maker and she wanted a melange of items. I had placed it on the table of items for her to look at and she just grabbed it without any form of grace. I didn't expect her to even pick it up. (Her arms were already full of an assortment of other things) I was about to put it in the china cabinet myself.
As soon as she picked it up, she dropped everything and parts went everywhere. Underneath furniture, etc... I looked for an hour with a flashlight and found everything except for a broken part of the back (in the pic)
Because this is a theatre, they eventually had to sweep/mop. But nothing was found. At this point, I will half to wait until we strike the furniture next week.

Thanks!
No, I didn't use the decals at all. I generally didn't like the colours of them and they were too dark for the scale. I was really really trying to lighten the panel colours more than the studio build in order to make it look larger. Somebody smarter than I can explain that better

Curse those designers, always ruining things. :angry Seriously though, that really sucks. Hope she can be repaired!

The Opera is Imeneo by Handel. I totally aborted that ship model I was building. The director is a bit of a wild card and by time I was able to give them an unpainted model for rehearsal, he had the actors abusing the rehearsal prop ship so much that I told them they had to keep using that. There's no way my ship would have sirvined being buried in dirt on stage every night.
I think those flaps pieces actually have an extra 1 or 2
I remember there being a list of parts that were leftovers in the instructions (I know, because I was confused I had extra and meticulously combed over it) One of the extra bits is at least one flap
