Posting this here and on ships, as some sites list the LCM in armour and some in ships.
Got a 1/35 Trumpy LCM-3 kit. I ordered the Eduard PE detail set # 35 735, the Eduard PE support framework set # 35 746, and the trumpy LCM crew set # 00408.
Ordered from Red Frog Hobbies. The detail set # 35 735 was scratched off the invoice when I got the order. Red Frog said they couldn't get any more. An e-mail to Eduard had a reply that the set was no longer produced and their stock was depleted.
Ayone got any Ideas as to where I should/could look? Tried my usual sources - Squadron, etc.

This is fishy... was at Lucky Model and it showed 6+ in stock. Now I am seeing back order 2-3 weeks...

They are now using DeutschePost so stuff here to the US (especially kits) can take a little while. Has to clear customs and what not as well...last time I ordered a kit from them it took about 3 weeks to arrive. Not sure if the same would apply to a PE set. |

Yup, when I went back to check on my order status it said they were out and should get resupplied in 2 - 3 weeks. Sure looks doubtful to me. E-mailed AA hobbies today. Found a set in europe - the set cost $18.00 US and the shipping charges were $38.00 US. What's with that? Passed on that one. EJ |

Got a reply from AA Hobbies. They replied quickly and said they had one. $20.69 + shipping. Waiting to hear terms of payment/order/method. I'm not giving up on this!

Called the 800 # I got and spoke with John Reid. Placed my order. He said it would go out this thursday or so. I'm stoked!

Thanks to TRM for the heads up to AA Hobbies. Got my Eduard 35 735 PE set today from them. Thanks to John Reid for his quick service as well.
NOW - I'm nearly ready to start my LCM build, right after I finish my 1/700 Yorktown OOTB. Putting the last of the paint, decals and detials on it now.
