Epoxy I’m going to try epoxy. It’s worth a shot. If it doesn’t work, I’ll hit you up about that hood. | ||

Gorilla Glue. Remember that Gorilla Glue needs the edges to be moistened to work, and it foams, but don't worry, can scrape that off later. Just put it back together one piece at a time.
I had the same thing happen to me when I ordered two model 28 units, seller was a numpty and packed them overlaid on top of each other, in opposite positions. The top one survived but the bottom one was busted apart as well as the bolts that hold the bag on punched through the side of the box and one of them sheared off. I was not too sad because both of them were missing equal parts off each other (what one had the other did not) so I figured I would take the busted one's parts off and build up the other one. I bought them because the seller or someone had custom painted it a gorgeous blue in automotive paint (Pontiac GTO kind of turquoise) and did a damn good job at it, so I had the idea to continue this work and build it up as a custom and then later on someday look for an original 28. | ||
