Fix in what way?
Taking them apart and swapping parts?
Gluing?
Repainting?

The first thing I can tell you is to be careful. TFs seem to have screw every where, often hiding under stickers. You will need an xacto knife to peel some back as necessary. Jazz I'm unsure of for this but I don't recall having to peel any from my Mirage to replace his cockpit area to fix a broken waist. Good luck.

Just to back up what has been said, err on the side of caution and even put the little screws on a white sheet of paper so you don't lose them. I used to dissect them years ago and enjoyed rebuilding them. It can be fun but please, please be careful.

Be VERY careful if what you're taking apart has springs. If the springs shots out they can be incredibly hard to find.
