Probably it's still on the sink drain, try to dismantle it. |

And now you know why I wash plastic frames carefully in a light coloured basin so I can see everything AND check the bottom of the basin before pouring out the soapy water. GW plastics cost far too damned much to be losing parts. |

If you've permanently lost it, there are three courses open to you - A trade (here on O-R or elsewhere) - Buying a spare Kili on the the net (Ebay is your friend) - Making one out of wire and maybe a bit of greenstuff, if you feel up to it. It's not that hard to convert a bow (curved bit of iron wire with GS ends) and a bag (rectangular piece of GS). |

You do know that plastic models don't need cleaning really don't you. But good on you for finding an alternative, was that made with instantmold? |

I've never cleaned a styrene plastic kit in my 16 years of doing this hobby! It's just not necessary if you are using spray undercoat! Glad you have found a solution though!

I don't know exactly how my friend did it, I think he created mold from green stuff. I clean my models after cleaning the bits and mold lines... |

What an excellent friend. Deserves a pint for his trouble, methinks. Like goblin_king, I've never washed the plastic kits, though I have some metal models. |

Plastics have mold release on them, sometimes more then they should, it just helps paint adehesion. I was everything too, after prep is finished, but over a cullender |

I have only recently started washing metal models because they come from GW covered in a white powder...never washed plastic though. |

Might be because of the high humidity here, we have issues priming outside, if it comes out fuzzy its either mold release residue on a non humid day, or humidity when its humid. I don't take any chances anymore, GW spray paint is too expensive to have to strip off and try again |

thats why I use a cheaper alternative. The paint I use i get 25% more for half the price. And i've primed plastic, metal and FC with no problems. |
