While cleaning up after the NIA National Show in Marlborough a couple weeks ago, I found two "kitsulators" each wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in the trash. So I took them home and reassembled them as best I could with Gorilla Glue. They make decent hole-fillers.

On the left is a CD 162 EIN [090] (F-Skirt) HEMINGRAY-19 (R-Skirt) MADE IN U.S.A. RDP in bright Orange Amber. The right skirt was broken in about six larger pieces and some smaller ones. Looks pretty good from the left mold line.

On the right is a CD 161 EIN [020] (F-Skirt) CALIFORNIA SB in Smoky Straw. It had its top popped off. That glued back on fairly well but, there's chipping and nibbling all along the break. Nice color, though.
