**Super Glue Magic**: If the pieces broke cleanly, just use some super glue to stick them back together. Make sure to hold them in place for a few seconds until it sets. You can even use a toothpick to apply it precisely.

**Plastic Welding**: If the kit is made of plastic, you can try plastic welding. Just melt a bit of the same plastic (like from a sprue) and use it to fuse the broken parts together. It’s like a little DIY magic trick!

**Epoxy Putty**: Grab some epoxy putty and mold it around the broken area. Once it hardens, it’ll create a strong bond and you can sand it down to make it smooth. Plus, you can paint over it to match the rest of your model.
