Anyone in the US have 32nd scale Tamiya and Revell late Spitfire kits to borrow their wings?

A new company has gun bay sets they asked me to review. They are 3D printed. I bought their Ki-84 gun bay set since I have a Hasegawa kit but don't have any Spitfires. So, here is the deal. I only need one wing set to test fit. Once done, the wings, with gun bays, are returned. Obviously, someone with both kits preferred. Yes, I will cut the wings to check the fit.

If no takers by January 31st, I will simply turn down the offer.

The gun bay kit for Tamiya is the C wing with two types of covers. I am in NY. As mentioned, I would only need one set of wings to test the fit and you get to keep the gun bays (one for each wing included). If push comes to shove, I can get the Revell kit for about $35 delivered. I simply don't need the kit! :D

So, if anyone else wants to get that Revell kit, I will point out where the deal is and same applies. You get the kit with the gun bay sets.

Full disclosure, this producer loves 32nd stuff and the next release is the radar and avionics for Tamiya's F-15C. So, let me know if you have it for the future.

Saul, perhaps we can work something out. I still have one of the Tamiya F-15C's, and have all the interior radar stuff as well as all the landing gear parts left from two others I built this year in flying configuration. I would be willing to pay for the Revell kit at that price, the ones I looked at were a lot more. I am in California.

OK, to save time, I will buy the Revell kit to ship to me. I only need one wing set from the Spitfire (by the way, the C-wing was used form the Mk V on to the IX). As for the F-15C, the vendor plans on sending the test prints from the radar and avionics. I need more information as to which bay he means by that. The bay behind the cockpit? Or behind panels on the nose? Perhaps no cutting needed?

By the way, I checked and the Tamiya wings do not need cutting! :D

Yet, cutting will be necessary on the Revell kit.

Let's take this to PM.

Saul, I could be wrong but I think what is behind the pilot is ecm gear for countermeasures, and the radar gear itself is all up front on the F-15C.
