Aegis Bunker Hill ship “Need some adviceâ€￾

Before I got my T-80 tanks I had ordered the Aegis Bunker hill ship and when opening it I lost the main front mast happily the people at costumer service at GHQ where able send me the replacement antenna mast, and I got it glued onto the ship. My problem now is some of the little radar domes are missing from their mounts on the main part of the ship or terribly deformed. I was wondering if anyone has some good pictures of their bunker hill ship they could post that clearly show the ships domes. I plan on making some replacement domes out of green stuff and sticking them on but need to know the proper shape they need to be.

Below are some pictures of my Aegis ship showing the parts that are missing from the boat.

BUNKER HILL

Ahoy! Your BUNKER HILL looks to be missing one of its forward missile illuminators (the little radar antenna atop the starboard aft corner of the pilothouse/bridge, just forward of the glued-on forward mast.
Please remember that GHQ's rendition of BUNKER HILL is pretty much "as-built", fresh from the builder's shipyard. Over the years, a lot of new communications and data link antenna arrays have sprouted up all over the ship's superstructure, and pretty much none of those are reflected on the GHQ model.
A good link to get a glimpse of some good BUNKER HILL pictures (the real ship, not the model) is found here:

Hope this helps!
