Des Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 If 'Resources' is not the most obvious location please move. Now and again someone is looking for spare parts for Trumpeter and related kits and previously the place to go was ' [email protected]' however I was in touch earlier this week about some bits and pieces and been advised that this has now been contracted out to the HobbyDNA Group - website www.hobbydna.com - although etched parts and decal sheets are still in the process of being added. Site is easy enough to use , search by product number , find the sprue identifier from the instruction sheet that pops up and then click as appropriate to add to basket. Prices in $US , my order came to around $14 with $14 for standard shipping all paid via PayPal and I will advise in due course about delivery times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis1965 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Just placed an order for canopy part for P38 - 1/32 What site are UK modelers using for Tamiya parts? Thanks for the headsup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I curious how this other approach works out That '[email protected]' didn't work so well for me. The email transaction seemed to go well enough, I ordered the decal sheet I wanted, and received a tracking number via email. What happened next was absurd: the China parcel tracking system showed the item ping-poning around China for over a month, never getting onto a US-bound aircraft. Radio silence from the email address. I eventually got fed up with it and contacted Paypal for a refund, which eventually came some time later..

dnl42 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I ordered decals for a kit from hobbydna this morning. Search for the kit number and then press the "parts:decals" button under "attributes". They also show a "parts:PE" button. Shipping was $11.75, but the total is still cheaper than getting the kit on the 2nd-hand market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
