Response to yes i'm in the UK

Hi

I don't believe they do sell sprues in the way Tamiya and Tasca do. I think they are interested in selling kits and fulfilling any obligation to replace or provide missing or badly manufactured parts only. With their range and stock turnover it would be a logistical nightmare.

Even parts claimed via Dragon Care are subject to availability as I understand it. Current kits shouldn't be a problem for replacements/claims but older kits may mean they simply don't have them in stock to access parts and you'd be waiting the next production run, which might not even happen if it's replaced with a newer tooled version.

If it's a whole sprue it might be so expensive anyway that seeking out anothe kit on ebay etc. might be better/cheaper. Alternatively if its a part, with the wealth of "spares" in each Dragon kit it might be worth posting a "want" on the modelling forums to see if a fellow modeller can help you out.

Who knows the bits you want may no even be needed for the build if some of the sprue counts in Dragon boxes are anything to go by!!

Alan
