Where to get M113 photo etch?

[Michael Morris]

I want to build a diorama with a Trumpter 1/72 scale M113 armoured personnel carrier as the centrepiece.  Eduard used to do a photo etch set for this model, but it seems to be discontinued.

Where would be the best place to get hold of discontinued photo etch like this?

 

Thanks.

You seem to be right that no-one is currently listing it, according to Google and Scalemates anyway.

 

Your best bet is perhaps to camp out on eBay and hope that one comes up.

It might be worth contacting Eduard directly. I have read that the aftermarket companies sometimes have hidden drawers of discontinued items (but I have not tried this myself).

 

Failing that, you could post in the "Wanted" section of Britmodeller. You are required to have made a minimum of 100 posts on BM, which you have already made. As previously stated, E-bay is your other option. 

 

Good luck in finding the set you're after.

Good luck finding one - I've only ever come across one and I need at least 3 more!

 

All the best

Still looking for the Eduard 1/72 scale photoetch set for the M113.

Back Dog has some PE in their Israeli command track set: T72032 1/72 IDF M113 Command vehicle conversion set. Not a cheap solution but comes with some extras that could be useful.
