I believe you may have a collectors item in this kit. Since you were the only person who opened
the kit, you can vouch for the kit's contents. As has been suggested, you could copy the kit, and
build it like a scratch model, or buy a new kit from Tower. I purchased mine a couple of years ago with the idea of building it right away. Unfortunately, I kept damaging my flying fleet, and had to spend time rebuilding. I am sure in what ever method you decide to use, you will be very happy flying this model as discussed on another thread a while back.

Have fun building!
