Hello All,

I know this may be a long shot but you never know unless you ask.

I need some help tracking down a Hobbymaster F4 Phantom HA1901 Steve Ritchie, 555th TFS, Vietnam, 1972.

If anybody knows where I can get my hands on one or if somebody has a spare one please could you let me know.

Thanks for your help.:)

Spectrum,

Would normally point you in the direction of a forum sponsor/promoter, but all seem to have none, so try here (http://www.aircraftmodels.co.uk/1612_1_105087680.html)

Say's they are stock, but worth phoning first!

Everywhere else I have looked is a no no... A couple of sites in the US have them, but obviously addional postage...

Good luck. ;) :) It's a nice one to have! (http://forums.diecast-aviation.eu/showthread.php?t=8179&highlight=HA1901)

Even if you offered me a new pair of shorts, it ain't going anywhere Speccy!

Be patient Spectrum, he can take a while to reply but his online stock is usually accurate, you could always phone/text in am for a quicker reply now that everyone knows he has one! :LOL:

Well I have tried and failed so far. :(

Both of these shops have sold out thanks for your help so far chaps. Has anybody else got any leads or a spare?

Hello Max Reheat I have sent you a PM back.

I'm still on the trail for this one. As the exchange is poor at the moment it would be a bit too expensive to buy from over the pond and plus from reading on another thread it could be a disaster if it arrives damaged in the post.

I know one will turn up in the UK and from doing some research I've heard that this Phantom has got the wrong shade of green :D . So if anybody wants to get rid of their inaccurate model please let me know. :D

Thanks Chaps. :D

Popped home for my lunch break today to find the Phantom waiting for me. I only just had enough time to place the landing gear and a test flight before heading back to work but I'm very pleased I managed to get hold of one for my collection.

Thanks to everyone who has been looking and helping me find one I'm very grateful that I have got access to a very helpful and friendly forum. :D :D
