Taking a break from armor and am doing airplanes. Doing a Hasegawa Focke Wulf 190 a4 in 1:48. Close to completion and found that I misplaced the sprue with the wing flaps (parts f1-f2). Hoping someone has a kit cannibalized for parts that I can bum off. Am happy to pay for postage plus worth of part. Thanks!

Thanks, but it would be my preference to use the kit parts. Thanks.

If kit parts don't show up, got a you've at least a back-up option. As a last resort, the flaps are flat slabs, so you can scratch build them from plastic card if necessary.

I presume this set should suffice:

Will probably get these faster than ordering from Hasegawa.

Doesn't look like there's any flaps in that set. Looks like Tailplanes, elevators and rudder plus some small items.

Those will definitely make the tail surfaces more interesting, but there aren't any flaps there

There seems to be a bit of terminology confusion here. Parts F1 and F2? You mean F1 and F2 used here? Those would be ailerons.
Based on a quick googling, it looks like there's a couple of different aftermarket options.
Vector has an update for Hasegawa kits, namely A5/A8. I don't know how well the ailerons would fit the A4 kit. Linden Hill Imports has the set for $11.99
Aires has a control surfaces set with Ailerons (# 4025), but that's designed for Tamiya kits, so it might not fit right and require extra work.
