BBR Ferrari 512 BB LM:
Unfortunately, as you can see in the second photo, it's missing a hood pin, which is nowhere to be found in the box or anywhere else. I'll be keeping the model, but that's kind of annoying.
EDIT: I just noticed it's also missing the shifter.
replace both hood pins so it looks symmetrical. No one will ever know. There are lots of varieties on ebay

Thanks for the help. What should I search for on eBay?
Also, I am pleased to announce the arrival of a Ferrari model that isn't broken or missing anything:

I would start by searching "photoetch hood pins" or "PE hood pins", also known as bonnet latches or dzus fasteners, and any permutation in between. Detail Master, Hobby Design, and a few others make them. Most importantly, get Microscale Kristal Klear for them. It's a strong glue that dries clear and will not damage the paint.

I will try that. Thanks for the suggestions!

CK modelcars had them in stock some weeks ago for 209 euro IIRC. They have non in stock now, but maybe send them an email to ask if they will receive more?
