Do make a note as to how you remove them because it is a bit of an art to replace them.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Someone? Like a little Leprechaun got in there and stole them? :) I had heard they have things like that over there across the pond. Just messing around. I'm assuming you got the hull second hand which is why they are missing.

:) if I look closely, it seems to me that pieces of the suspension arms are wandering around, right?

if this is the case you will also need this

can't we see very well in the photo? but it seems to me that it is a metal frame? or am I mistaken 8O
as it was said above, it will be necessary to pay attention to the direction of the assembly, and precautions, the suspension arms being in Zamac and very fragile to handle

Definitely looks like some broken suspension arms also. I bought an entire set from Taigen for my KVs since I've had this happen before. I just keep the rest to use as spares since I have a couple of Taigen KV hulls.
