Hi,

Would anyone happen know where I could find a set of Cutting Edge's 1:48 scale resin PBP-1 gunsights?
I've been doing some googling and I hard time finding online stores carrying that item.
This one I found comes anywhere near what I'm looking for. Unfortunately they seem to only accept orders by fax. And it's 1/32 as well... (as I'm looking for the 1:48 scale item)


And with Meteor Productions OOB, my chances of finding those gunsights are probably quite slim & none then, I suppose.
Bummer.

Does any other manufacturer make PBP-1s? On the aftermarket side, I'm only aware of Cutting Edge ever making those.

I guess I should try my hand at scratching those. Or start sending product suggestions to Quickboost!

Also, if anyone has that set lying around unneeded, I would be glad to buy or trade them.

Hi Eetu

also try the Trade forums here and e.g on Hyperscale.

IMHO Dave Klaus will start again when his ex is "buried". Meanwhile check evilbay (USA) from time to time. at the moment CE parts get high money but you might find what you need.

cheers

Good idea, I'll post a "wanted" thread in the trade forum.

No luck with Ebay yet, but I'll keep my eyes open. (Why is it evil btw? For keeping one's wallet thinner? )

I think I'll send a suggestion to Quickboost as well. There's quite a few 1:48 scale Russian aircraft kits available that could use such a gunsight.
