Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forums!

As for the PE sets, check out Sprue Brothers or Squadron Mail Order.  Both sites carry multiple sets for this AC and are great companies to work with.

Also, typing in all caps on Internet forums is generally frowned upon, as it is usually viewed as a method to convey shouting.

Glad to help.  I usually order from Sprue Bros. whenever I can, as I really enjoy their "live" inventory feature.  If it's listed, they DO have it in stock. Thumbs Up [tup]

Welcome to the forums! I was down in your neck of the woods not long ago. Got to see the minimal regatta while I was there. Still wishing I had a breakfast joint like Blue Heaven here but its too darned expensive. A B.O.'s up here would be nice though.
