You could cast a new buck out of the part, and vacform a replacement, but it would be difficult/impossible to repair the original part.
Je ne regrette rien.

As you have nothing to loose you can try to glue it with Tamiya extra thin cement, then sanding it lightly and overspray with clear from the in and outside, maybe you can rescue it.
Take a stand!
