Default Plastic model building question.

I know this forum is for RC stuff but I cant seam to find a forum dedicated to plastic models, so I thought I would ask it here.

Where can you get the resin accessory parts for plastic model airplanes, like for instance, scale wheels, engines, ejection seats and so on. I have seen them at hobby shops but cant remember the names of the companies that make them, and there is no hobby shop where I live.

I have tried searching the net for them and cant find anything.

I am working on a 1/32 scale F4UD Corsair and am looking for wheels and engine and decals.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Check out these sites:

www.aircraftresourcecenter.com
www.hyperscale.com
www.modelingmadness.com

Ask your question on the message boards and you will get bombed with answers.

Should give you more info than you can digest in 3 lifetimes!

[link=http://www.meteorprod.com]Meteor Productions[/link] is a good source for resin and decals.

[link=http://www.victorymodels.com]Victory Models[/link] is also another place you might give a try, Paul is a good guy to work with.

Sorry, too tired now to look up and search links,,, BUT there is a fricken GREAT magazine for scale modeling. Its called Fine Scale Modelers. If you don't subscribe already, and you are a serious scale modeler, I would highly suggest it.

HyperScale is the place to go to ask about plastic models. There are a TON of accessories available now. You can get resin engines, cockpits, photo-etch details, etc. There are also a lot of decal sets you can buy.

A good place to look for accessories is Squadron.
