Erik A Posted August 12 #1 Posted August 12 I have the Billing Boats Model 415. as its an old model it should come with the fittings kit BB417. it does not. small chance i know but does anyone have this kit or know of one for sale somewhere? worst case i may have to buy the individual items but this could be a very expensive option.

thibaultron Posted August 12 #2 Posted August 12 Do a search on Ebay, and then save the search. Ebay will send you a notice, if the kit is ever offered again. It took 3 years, but I managed to get a rare HO limited edition model depot/station that way, as well as getting many other OOP items (with much shorter wait times), over the years. mtaylor, Erik A and Canute 2 1 Ron Thibault Shipjack Carrie Price from Pyro kit, with upgraded detailing and history.

mtaylor Posted August 12 #3 Posted August 12 As I recall, those fitting kits were separate items sold separately from the ship kit. They do seem to be rare birds at best. catopower, thibaultron, mtdoramike and 1 other 4 Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
mtdoramike Posted August 13 #4 Posted August 13 Mark is right, the older Billings kit didn't come with the fittings kits. They were sold separately and yes, it will be a very expensive option to buy separately probably twice what you paid for the kit. My opinion, dump the kit unless it has some special meaning to you. mtaylor, thibaultron and Canute 3
