TheWalrus Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Can anyone point to a source for aftermarket parts for the 1/48 (subject kit)? Also can anyone point to cockpit interior photos and other detail stuff. Mincraft kit is on deck and looks pretty neat, but sparse on the detail side if one wants to go contest grade.

TheWalrus Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Posted September 22, 2011 Thank you, sir! I had been searching the web and even contacted Grumman to no avail. I new someone here would step up. Once I had the book name I did try the e-bay source, but had problems with payment method. I then found it on Amazon for even less total cost and it's on the way. Had no idea Eduard made a photoetch set and will purchase in next day or so. Trying to find a US source with it in stock. Oh, joy! Thanks again.

TheWalrus Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks. Have sent email to Mr. West. The kit is nice on exterior but need a lot of work in cockpit, especially due to the size of the greenhouse. Mike West at Lone Star: http://lonestarmodels.com/
