Dawgmeat: I'd ask your hobby shop to contact Tamiya USA directly if they seem to have problems getting 415 parts elsewhere. The prices are slightly higher but its still worth it. From what I've been told speaking with the Tamiya rep, parts are still available. I just received a shipment direct from Tamiya of optional and extra parts for my 415, the order was made through Bruckner Hobbies. I use the Rockland Store, call and ask for Brian. They are closed on Mondays.

Gargoon: I'll be at hobby chamber all day saturday finishing my 415. Unless you want to build it for me during the week. When are you going to PA, you'll pass by my place, stop by.
