Easy way to find aftermarket parts?

[WelshZeCorgi]

Is there a way to find aftermarket parts for any kit? I tried the scalemate website, but it seems to only give me international stores where the $5 part costs $15 to ship to the US, or they are not for the kit I'm looking for, but a kit from a different manufacturer.

Just don't use Scalemates as a store.

Instead, use it as a "master list" of parts that were ever available.

Then look at your vendor's websites for the things you want to find.

 

What I do is look at Scalemates, find the item, then look at Hannants to see if it is currently available. Sometimes a US store has it, but, more often it is the stores in other countries that has the part actually in stock. (All of them can't stock all of everything, after all)

Hannats is great because they get out of production items in stock from time to time.

I tried looking for workable tank tracks for the trumpeter strv 103c swedish s-tank and couldn't find a listing. Does this mean it's out of stock and might be restocked or does it mean they will never sell this item?

[Whiskey]

If they have ever carried it before they leave it in the catalog however if they've never had it before then they won't have a listing for it if there isn't any actually on hand.
