    I don't have one of those but I think CrazyMike - the other Collecting mod - might have one. You could try PMing him to ask what he recommends if he doesn't respond here.

    Yes I have one but the wings on my Watto are ok. I am thinking that you can use a knife and the back of the wing so that you can glue the frame which is probably broken. Can you take some pictures and post them of the broken wing.

    Yes that picture confirms what I thought. Watto is going to need some surgery Yoda. I would suggest slitting open an inconspicuous spot of his wing probably underneath the fold. The opening needs to be big enough to access the frame inside. Once you make repairs you should be able to use a glue gun or even some epoxy to glue the slit back together. I was looking at my Watto and have noticed a similiar problem with one of his wings so I might be performing some surgery myself.
