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

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.
