Hi, I need to know if anyone had ever had any luck getting parts from either of these diecast complanies. LMK. Thanks,Steve

I've returned Danbury Mint models that came to me with broken pieces, and they've sent a replacement, but I've never tried to ask for just certain parts. Why not email them both and ask what their policy is? Danbury offers a 30-day money back guarantee but makes no mention of offering parts. I doubt that they would offer to replace individual parts, as the models are all assembled in China.

From Diecast.org, which carries both FM and DM models:

CAN I GET REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR A BROKEN MODEL?

Due to the enormous inventory problem it represents, it is difficult for the manufacturers to provide every part for every one of their models. For larger parts to repair that junker, your best chance is either to post a notice on one of our Forums or monitor our Auction page where "distressed" items are frequently placed for sale.
