Billing Boats Danmark Fittings Search

[Planksforthememories]

I would really appreciate it if someone has, or can steer me in the right direction to acquire, the Billing Boats fitting set #417 for the Danmark. I know it is a long shot but I'm hoping for the best!
Thank you in advance!

WOW, good luck with your search, that is a huge fitting package. When I aquired the kit close to 20 years ago, the kit came with the fitting package. Have you tried to contact Billings? I'm sure the fitting package will end up costing you more than the kit is worth.

Thanks for the reply!  I will contact Billings but I'm betting you're right about the cost.  All I can do at this point is cross my fingers.

I also have an early model Danmark with no fittings kit. Had a chat with billing and they don't make the kits to sell any more so contacted the rep in NZ and they also don't have it. Been looking online and nothing. My one saving grace is that I have the kit list and I also have 2 models of the Danmark. One with the kit and one without so I can use the second kit to build up another if I decide to build both kits

Have you thought about just making the fittings?

 

I know it sounds like a lot work, but for me, fitting out the model (including making the fittings) is one of my favorite parts of the hobby.

 

I made the discovery a few years ago that there is very little difference between scratch building and kit building in this hobby when I built my Prince de Neufchatel.

Making everything is a lot of fun and nowhere near as difficult as it may seem at first glance!

I may have to make the fittings or find close substitutes.  Thank you for your insight into making my own. It may just more rewarding than I thought.  Thanks to all for your input!
