Where to find -- 1:24 "Spitfire" resin seat????

Post by JimJ »

I have looked "high & low" and cannot find a resin replacement seat for the 1:24 Trumpeter Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb kit. I am in the U.S. and aftermarket parts here are a bit difficult, especially 1:24.
Can anyone lead me to a reliable source for such parts in the U.K.??
Thanks...........Jim J.

The "Ebay" route may be the only way to go with this guy..............I can't get him to answer emails, and he's about the only one that has resin for the Spitfire. "Warbirds" won't answer email either :( :(
Thought maybe there was a magic source I didn't know about........................Thanks, Jim J.

Well, the search for "AM" resin parts for large scale planes, and the aggravation of trying to get some of these folks to answer emails over the last month, has basically caused me to give up on the idea of large scale planes & go instead to large scale (1:16) armor. The "AM" parts for the armor aren't a whole lot easier to find, but at least the merchants care enough to reply!!! :( I don't plan to name any merchants because they may have their own issues. Just decided to go another less stressful way..............this is supposed to be fun.
