This is a question to the Australian modellers. Where do you get aftermarket parts from?
There are no hobby shops in my city that sell aftermarket model products. In fact I cannot find any shops in Aus at all that sell very many aftermarket products. The only place I have really found in Squadron. I am specifcally after some Eduard PE parts for the 1/72 Acadamey F-18 Hornet. From Squadron the shipping was twice what the parts were. In fact the interior PE with the canopy mask shipped to Aus was more than the kit cost (which is already expensive in Aus). I am interested in using some aftermarket bits but unless I can find a cheaper place to get them from I don't know thats its worth it.
