It split at the bottom corner of the left head light where the molded in vent/grill is below the light! I LOVE THE 787B!!! I have Plastic Weld glue that HOPEFULLY can repair it! I have some polystyrene that I am going to try to add to strengthen it. We'll see!

So another 787B or 2 will be ordered as a replacement! though on the next one I will usethe Plastic Weld to glue in the headlights to hopefully strengthen the nose.
Adding a styren sheet brace glued in with E6000 or shoe goo has been a permanent fix for my cracked bodies. This one is probably overkill but you get the idea.
