Default False start

A few years ago I bought a Thunder Tiger 60 trainer, ARTF. It came with everything except the fuel. I was looking to start in the hobby with this plane, and with the help of a friend experienced in the hobby. Well, things happen. The friend passed away before we ever got out to start flying. The plane never got fully put together. Now, it seems the instruction manual is missing and possibly some small parts to mount the landing gear and wings. Also, there is a puncture in one of the wings about the size of a 50 cent piece.
My questions are:1- does anyone have a source for the instruction manual? I'm sure it will address the issues of the final assembly.
2- can the hole in the wing be repaired with a piece of clear tape, or am I looking at a wing rebuild? Is this a service usually available locally? THANK YOU!
