Gunze replacement parts

After a search came up nothing, I'm left wondering if anyone has dealt with Gunze Sanyo regarding replacement parts for their kits? I just got a Austin Healey Sprite off of ebay and it's missing the chassis plate, which is kind of an important part. Since this kit is actually going to become another "what can willimo jam an S2000 engine into" project, I guess it's not that important, but I wouldn't mind saving myself trouble wherever possible.

Are Gunze still in the kit making business? I know their line of paints and accessories is now called GSI Creos, so maybe the whole company has dissolved, merged, downsized, been taken over or something. I really don't know, just speculating. :dunno:

Ahh man..come on..You are well capable of scratchbuilding. It is a SIGN!!!!! They want you to make a custom tube frame!!

Creos is still manufacturing kits. They always display at at hobby show each year.
As for where to get parts, probably HLJ is the most logical choice.

I agree :biggrin:

But if you get really desperate, I have the Airfix version of the kit and I can try and make a resin copy of the part for you.

Might be quicker, easier and more aesthetic if you scratch it yourself though! :lol2:
