Some of my Dinky/Corgi models have parts missing ,i have searched the net,and Ebay and have made a note of a few dealers that supply n.o.s and repro parts. The two that stand out (so far) are ACME 3000 model restorations on Ebay,and MK Models,based in Holland.
Both seem to have a large selection of the spares i will be requiring,but as a newcomer i want to be sure im parting company with my hard earned with the right people,so any recommendations would be welcome,and any comments treated in confidence. Thanks in advance....Kev

Re: Spare parts
I have to go with Steve Flowers every time for tyres as he supplies most of the suppliers...
Heres the man with the bargains.Always open to offers from this sites members..http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/misterpop/m.h ... m=&_ipg=25
Re: Spare parts
Mkmodels or modelcarparts.com is my go to. Rob is responsive and parts are generally sourced from Steve Flowers, I understand. Placed a large order just after Christmas for Dinky spares which arrived today, not bad as I am in New Zealand on the other side of the planet. Very happy. Only issue for me is the lack of euro VAT refund for non EU orders. But that's a minor issue. Quality is always good and the one minor issue I had in the last 5 years was sorted fast and efficiently.
I also like the ability to make extensive orders over time (as I acquire models which need parts) which are stored on my browser via cookies and then I just complete the order and pay via PayPal giving me security that if things go south I have another avenue for redress. Shipping costs are reasonable too. Only alternative supplier I use is Dinkyclub.com purely because they have some parts others do not have
Happy hunting.....
