You e-mailed me about casting the parts.
Sorry that I did not get back to you.
As far s your list is concerned , the list is very long by the time I mould the parts and cast them the price alone of the RTV and Resin will far exceed the price that you paid for the original items.
Plus I would have to pull the parts off of my originals reducing their resale.
Which would meen that I would be losing money off of the project.
Unless you would want 10 each of the missing parts.
But again the price although cheaper per part. Will far exceed the price you paid for your originals.
RTV and resin is not cheap.

Matt,
No worries. Im sure your life is hectic as of recent.
As far as your concern I do have most (if not all) of the replacement parts for the parts mentioned above. I'm trying to have my friend (who happens to be a great 3D Designer) scan the items I need so we can easily print them out. BUT I'd like to go this route of casting as well.
So I'm thinking maybe a scaled back order would be in order. I'll PM you with details. But for everyone else, if anybody has any of these items please let me know. I'll be tackling these parts, one by one as I get to each project. Right now the P-47 and P-40 parts are priority.
