Is it possible to get replacement parts from Fonderie Miniatures? I recently picked up the 1:48th scale Halifax, and unfortunately both of the tail turrets and nose blisters are damaged. Both tail turrets are damaged beyond use, with a big crease right through the middle. One nose blister may be able to be saved, but with as thin as the transparancies are on that kit, then again it may not be salvageable.

I've checked out FM's web site, and found a form used to send in ideas for new kits as well as comments about their products (if I'm remembering my French class correctly). I have not attempted to submit the form yet, which I will do, but I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten a response if they've done so. And I will be filling the form out in English since I don't want to offend anyone with my very poor, rusty French speaking/writing skills

I'm game to trying another solution too, if anyone has any suggestions - and no I don't have a vac-forming setup of my own to try to form my own parts...

Thank you for looking.

Hi David!

Maybe I can help you... remember I'm French!

I don't have the time now (must go to work), but I can send the message for you if you want. Are the parts referenced by a number or a letter? If yes can you tell me what they are exactely?
