Is it possible to get a new wing kit for the great planes pt 40? I like to build one and make it a flat wing, and lso convert it to a tail dragger.

Rather than get a wing kit it's probably cheaper and easier to make the new one from foam.

Check out GP's web page and search for 'PT-40' and see what pops up.

Would it be possible to get a replacement for an LT-40?

I looked on towerhobbies they had all kinds of replacement kits. This is a good thing now I can build it without any dihedral.

Just make one from scratch. It's not hard to do. You should be able to build the wing in a weekend. Look at this page on my site:

You can pick up a PT-40 foam wing from Dynamic Balsa for $25:

I needed a 4*60 wing kit. I called SIG and they gave me the part number and suggested I try an LHS.

Turns out you can get it for $10-20 cheaper from an LHS than direct.

They will also sell it to you direct.
