1/144 scale accessory sets are quite hard to come by, so it seems like sites like Shapeways are going to be the place to go (And I've already placed a small order for some pilot figures). I was wondering if anyone had any experience with similar sites they'd care to recommend? If anyone is able to help out with sources for the specifics I'm after 1/144 Skyshadow ECM pods, Paveway bombs or JP-233 dispensers and possibly the larger size external tanks. I can find some Paveway bombs on Shapeways although they're not quite the correct type, but for the Skyshadow and JP-233 I'm drawing a blank.

Thanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388277.page GMT
if youre dead set on 100% accuracy, Your best bet is probably to sculpt or 3d print your own]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388305.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388305.page GMT JP-233 to his project list, but admitted they couldn't offer a timeline of when they might be available, so I may end up just making the aircraft bare of underwing stores and add them if they appear for sale or my skills get to the point that I can scratch build them myself. (3D printing would be beyond my IT skills and budget at the moment)

1/144 isn't that uncommon for modern and cold war era aircraft though since they're a similar size to a 1/72 WW2 fighter and are often sold as starter or low-ish skill level kits in the same sort vein, they accessories are definitely not out there in that scale though, if it wasn't for the fact that space is a limiting factor for me it would have been cheaper and easier to do the same project in 1/72.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388352.page GMT
I haven't heard of this shapeways.. what is it? do they make accessories for armour in 1/35? thats what I mainly do my scale modelling in.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388475.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388547.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/773121/10388547.page GMT
