Daniel460 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 In my search for a Merlin XX for my Boulton Paul Defiant in 32 scale I found two folks on Ebay selling separate sprues. One had the Lancaster engine sprue and the turret sprue and another had the Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire engine sprue and the engine bearer sprue. May be worth a look if you are needed spares, they have pages of kit sprues....

LSP_Ray Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I have bought some individual sprues on eBay. Helpful when you need a few specific parts. Thanks for the info! LSP_K2 and Daniel460 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Have done the same. Have bought from 'cpyzz' with confidence. Sincerely, Mark Michael931080, Daniel460, Ryan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yes to both sellers. Have bought Tamiya F-14, F-15 and F-4 parts sprues from both. coogrfan and Daniel460 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yep, saved my butt a few times too. Daniel460 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Bought several sprues from them when constructing my HK B-17G, as I needed some parts from the E/F kit to make things a tad more accurate. Was a huge life saver! Will likely use them again, as I need/want to source some HK B-17 propellers for my HobbyBoss B-24J build. - Dennis S.

Scotsman Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I've had to use their services in the past , usually when the carpet monster has been especially ravenous! Daniel460 and f5guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Might have to have a look at these sellers. I have a non-LSP kit with a whole sprue missing. Dragon wouldn't even bother replying with my request to buy a sprue off them. Daniel460 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsman Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 For me buying directly from Tamiya was cheaper than any eBay offering, provided sprues are from current production kit. Daniel460 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yeah this maybe the case in some instances. Time is also a cost, I can get the parts from the ebays guys much faster. Daniel460 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his name is Mark, too! Great guy, though I agree it's not always the best value. But if you need it bad, he's a life saver.

LSP_K2 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Different subject, but quite a few folks on feebay also part out tool kits, like DeWalt and such. I've gotten some really great deals on specific 18V DeWalt stuff that way. MikeMaben and Daniel460 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I bought several sprues (1/24 Tamiya Porsche 956, 1/32 F-16C/J clear sprue, 1/32 F-14A clear sprue, etc). from Time Tunnel Models. Very good prices and excellent service. I think they are the UK importer for Tamiya models. Sincerely Pascal Daniel460 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
