Hi Pete, FWIW, I've had excellent results ordering replacement parts from Tamiya USA via the "support" page on their website. I've ordered parts 3x from them, and they have yet to charge me for parts (or shipping) even though I offered to buy the replacements. And 1x they sent me an entire engine sprue rather than just the needed parts. That's great customer service. I would assume that ordering parts in Europe is probably on a country-by-country basis via their local/regional agents, but check out the Tamiya Europe website and see where that leads: they might have a general support page or otherwise tell you how to contact the agent for Austria, who ought to have its own customer support service. Best, Chris

Hi Dave, I have the same question about F-4s generally, and the same difficulty finding clear images of their undersides without pylons. There are some nice marking options for pylon-less F-4s. What I've learned so far is that unused pylon mounting points were filled with an "aerodynamic" plug, and the pictures earlier in this thread are the first I've seen that show what such plugs look like. Glad I came over to this part of LSP! Chris

If you opt for the Revell kit I recommend that you also buy/download the KLP guide to building it (https://www.klp.com.au/product/building-the-revell-p-51d-5na-in-1-32-scale/). It costs $12 and IMHO it's money well spent. Chris
