Tom Geiger Posted November 5, 2019 I don't know if there are any parts sites other than eBay and a few message groups on Facebook. You can trade for parts here on the board. People are happy to help if you are looking for something specific for a project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
89AKurt Posted November 5, 2019 If you want to dump money, go to Shapeways. I don't like searching, must be a system, but lots of different subjects to choose from. Otherwise as Tom said, put it out on this forum what you're looking for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JollySipper Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Model Roundup sells complete resin engines, but they are about 2/3 the price of a whole kit..... BNL Resin makes them.... https://www.modelroundup.com/category-s/294.htm Edited November 5, 2019 by JollySipper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CapSat 6 Posted November 6, 2019 Seriously, depending on what you're looking for, eBay might be a very good option. There are multiple sellers who are parting out kits all the time. It seems like the same 4 or 5 sellers regularly part out newer kits, which I have found to be very useful. Sometimes, complete engines are offered for $3-5 each, plus shipping. They will usually combine shipping for multiple items won. You can find yourself getting nice, newer-tooled engines that would be great upgrades for certain older kits, along with better wheels, tires, etc. I buy any Revell '68 Dart 383-440 and AMT '71 Duster 340 engines I can find there. I also try to get the 8-3/4 rear from the Revell '67 GTX, Coronet & Charger kits when I can. I have seen everything from very good stock Hemis, right to complete NASCAR and Top Fuel engines. Unless you're looking for something very specific, you will most likely find what you need right there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jantrix Posted November 6, 2019 I really recommend buying more kits. If you are going to swap engines I'm sure there are other parts you're going to swap also. You can get inexpensive kits at swap meets and model shows if you look for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Pol Posted November 6, 2019 Or you can also buy buildups at model shows for parts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
