New, not startest, original packed

1st Airfix kit I've done. Not bad except for the way the cowl went together, but I knew about that. Filled in the offending gaps rather than get a repro or something. Panel lines are gone, but I'm okay with it. It looks fine. Will eventually add the rockets and drop tanks. Maybe.

Scalemates is not a shop – it is a huge database listing all (or near enough all) kits and other modelling items available. Some companies and members use it to sell items but the site itself does not. Go to the kit you are interested in and there may be some on offer - about half way down the page to the 'Marketplace' section.
Alternately, click on the 'brand' name on the page you have seen the item you are interested in and then click on the 'Homepage' link.

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of the nature of Scalemates and having found an instance of an aftermarket part for my relevant kit I am asking how to follow that link to the 'aftermarket' site in order to purchase the said item. There are clear (to me anyway) guidelines as to how to do this.

Go to the product page of the part you found, eg Lockheed C-130 wheels resin set (MLH/Bring It! #807, 1:72) and scroll down to marketplace. If any associated shops have that kit, they'll show up here. If the marketplace is empty, Google is your best friend

Thanks Martin, hadn't used Scalemates before and can see now that none of the partner shops or mates have the part I need. Thanks for your help. Phil Beasley
