jonbryon Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have (stupidly) managed to lose a crucial part of Trumpeter's 1/48 Su-15TM - part E1, the upper fuselage and cockpit opening. I've tried contacting Trumpeter directly, in Chinese, but not had a reply yet. If there's anyone out there with an abandoned Flagon with an unused part E1 they wouldn't mind parting with, I'd be really grateful :-) So far I've a half completed Su-15 and I don't fancy scratchbuilding such a visible part! I'm not sure what I can offer by way of return, but I'm sure I could sort something out. Many thanks! Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I bought Su-15TM without nose cone and i am still searching the way how to order that part.. I do not see that trumpeter has missing parts service like Heller or Revell.. P.S. If anyone has one spare TM or UM nose cone please call me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quickboost offers a replacement as do Loon Models. HTH Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HTH Mike Just a FWIW, but by my reckoning, the Trumpy (and Loon Models; I don't know about Quickboost) nose cone is too long (not short), by between 5-10mm. I posted an image comparing the plans the model matches with a photo and more accurate plans over on BM in Cold War or Modern folder. Best Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
