Hi Guys

Ive been putting the Academy 1/48 P-38 (Kit #2215) slowly together, and while i was dry fitting the front nose, i found that i am actually missing the front nose components for the P-38J, (parts C9 and C10).!!!

Does anyone know where i could source these parts in Australia?

Or would someone be kind enough to send these to me if they have them in there spares box?, i would pay for postage to Aus.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Damian

Hi Damien.
I had the same trouble with an Academy model. I contacted;
Model Rectifier Corp.
80 Newfield, Ave.
Edison, NJ. 08837 U.S.A. or
w.w.w.modelrectifier.com
Told them the parts that were missing, and they replaced them.
If no one sends you the parts, you might try this. But like everything else, there is no guarantee.
