galileo1 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Kind of an odd request but I'm looking to get some colored sprues from kits you've finished or just have laying around the bench. I have a project in mind I'd like to get moving but I don't have anything besides the typical grey stuff. Specifically, I'm looking for anything black, red, orange, and the like. Let me know if you have anything like this and are willing to part with it. Thanks! Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Just sent you a PM; shoot me your addy and I can have some black sprue headed your way this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mp88 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Rob: I have a couple of inches of yellow, light blue, sort of a shimmering grey, and dark blue sprues, and some red ones as well. If all you need are a few inches, I can send them to you. However, if you need more, I would suggest that you post a request in a car modeling forum (such as modelcarmags.com - it has a trade post forum). Car kits come in multiple colors while military/plane kits tend to come in only a few drab colors. cw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although more and more car kits are now being produced in white or gray to aid with paint/bodywork. Still by far the best way to go, I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spook498 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The old Matchbox 1/48 Seasprite helo kit had different colored sprues. I remember green, yellow and maybe black? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
