Here is the contact info for Corgi UK. They may be able to replace the tailwheel since all B-17s are the same in regards to the landing gear.

You should also try the Diecast Hangar Pub forum:

I'll try hanger pub. I already contacted Corgi and they're completely out of B-17 parts or at least that's what they told me in their e-mail.

That's really hard to believe, sounds like they just didn't want to help you.

I was also looking for the ball turret mount, since one side had broke, I was able to fix that myself. But they said in the e-mail they checked all their sources and had nothing for any of the B-17's, because I said I would take parts from any version they had. But I have heard that people got parts from them.
