discussion Etched parts for 1:48 super fortress

[Defiant911]

This is a bit of a long shot but I was trying to get hold of the photo etched cockpit control panel kit for my Monogram 1:48 B29 super fortress. Because it’s such an old model I can’t seem to find any on line. Looks like Revell supply them with their own kit but I could’t find them sold selerately. Does anyone know where I might find some or better still does anyone have some they never used when they made their own model that they might wish to sell?
Cheers Carl

Eduard has (or at least “had”) sets for the Monogram B-29:

Looks like Eduard has it covered....
Scrol through the list there are loads of bits for both inside and out.

The link doesn’t work for me?

The link doesn’t work for me and when I go to the Eduard site it just says discontinued under most of the sets?

The forum software has the unfortunate habit of replacing codes for smileys before making URLs clickable. This means that https:// becomes https:tongue-out3:/ because :/ is an alternative for the smiley :tongue-out3: (:tongue-out3:) — and therefore, the link won’t work.

To fix it by hand, click the link, then in your browser’s address bar, replace the :tongue-out3: bit by :/ and press the Return key.

Jep I got the smiley bug!! When I go there though the only set that shows as discontinued is the "Big Ed" set, all the others show a stock of ten or more..... Hmm.

Just an idea, but this problem would be fixed (or at least avoided for the future) by removing the code :/ from the smileys list. (May I suggest ;P for a winking smiley with its tongue out instead?)
