AC-130U Italeri 1/48 Question

I just read that Hobbyzone is expecting one final shipment from Attack Squadron withing the next few weeks.  They are expecting the parts that you are looking for.  May be worth a look to see if you can perhaps pre-order them.

(www.hobbyzone.biz).

I also understand that the Attack Squadron molds are currently up for sale.  So these parts may indeed be available again.

Regardless of how you proceed, good luck with your build and post pics!

Well, thanks to both of you!  That makes me feel good.  I am going to build it right out of the box and be happy with it.  I really do apprecieate the advice!

I have judged model shows in the past.  We never judged on the accuracy of an entry.  It was not even an option on the scoring card. 

I can't speak for all shows but for the ones I have entered and judged in, it was about the quality of the build and finish of the model.  We judged on things like visible seams, do all the wheels touch the ground, are the clear parts clean and free of blemishes, the quality of the paint work etc...
