Italeri replacement parts?

Posted by corvettemike on Friday, August 17, 2012 3:30 PM

Where can I order replacement parts for italeri kits? I pulled a 1/72 vietnam copter off the shelf only to discover three major components of the cockpit are missing and the only customer service i could find on the web was in italian.

Not sure if this is the site your useing, but it does have an English option, top left.

But good luck getting a reply. I have e mailed them several times about some decals, but never heard a thing.

That doesn't bode well. Heck since the parts I'm missing are basically flat bulkheads I may as well just bring out the contour gauge and make me a cockpit.

Well, my propeller came in... For the price of the parts plus shipping i would consider it a last resort.

Doesnt Italer'i fall under MRC for US importers? If so, yes their customer service will be poor.

Not sure, i did it from the italeri website and the part came from italy. I would think if u could deal with mrc it would be far less hassle. I think academy is distributed by mrc ( might be wrong, but ill look it up after i post) and they were great to work with.
