sourcing tiny parts

Post by UKscalemodeller »

I have just opened my Revell 1/72 Bf109G-10. the detail is not too bad but the tires are pretty basic, no tread on them at all unlike the lovley zvezda ones for the 109F.

I know you can get resin ones which are really well detailed but they are expensive.

does anyone know of anywhere that does such things in plastic that might be cheaper as the cost of a set of tires for one kit is more than the kit itself in this case.

I can't think of any plastic, but how about Quickboost who are a subsidiary of Aires? They do little packs of resin, often of one part such as an engine as opposed to a set and are relatively inexpensive ie £3-£4.
