HM Ritchie F-4 gear door missing?

I am missing my starboard side gear down door. Mine came w/ 2 port. If any of you had the opposite I'd like to trade.

I wrote HWV for a HM contact.

The same thing happened with my CW Corsair II. Frustration.

Any of you have a way to contact HM about this.

I wrote Hawk 1 about it but haven't heard.

Re: HM Ritchie F-4 gear door missing?

Ok, so I called Carl Toltz at Wings and Wheel and asked about gettng a door and it was sorta a funny talk so...

He said, "You''ll have to forgive me, now what side are you missing?"

"starboard, I have 2 port side doors and no starboard"

"I was in the Army, what side is that?"

"The right if it's right side up"

"Right?"

"Yes"

"Oh, ok...seems maybe the Chinese don't know port from starboard any better than I do"

I like that guy!

He's calling HM for me now.
