These great noggins are impossible to find. Ebay and Red Lancer and a few others don't carry them. I can't even find any knock off heads on Ebay.
Any clues or hints of where to search?
Much obliged,

Are you asking about Hornet HUH08- USA Tank Crews WWII?

Take a look at Ultracast in Canada...

Historex agents in England advertise them vigorously.

Great product! The suggestion for the Ultracast product line is excellent also and well worthy of your consideration!

The Hobbyeasy site is confusing at first, but after filling in all the search boxes, I keep getting 'No product match search criteria has been found.' Maybe its me, but I'll try later.
Thanks,
Mike

I checked with Ultracast in Canada and their shipping fee takes them outta my price range. Too expensive. I'll keep searching.

Have you tried Colorado Miniatures? He's trying to sell off the rest of his stuff and they had a bunch of Hornet heads as of yesterday.

Hobby Link Japan has them in stock.

http://www.hlj.com/product/HRN-HUH08/Mil

Under $9.00 USD...and shipping should be between $7 and $9 depending on what you choose.

So you will end up at around $17.00 or $18.00 USD.

But, you might not get them for up to 30 days.

If you compare Ultracast prices...$26.95 CAD total including shipping will be about $19.00 USD with the current exchange rate on the Canadian dollar.

I am not sure what your price point is but unless you find them really cheap with free shipping or you find a private seller who is very generous you probably aren't going to find them for much less.

Thanks john,
When I tried that site (I have bought many items over the years from him) but couldn't connect. I then read on this forum that CM has sadly gone under. i will try again.

Hi Jason,
I haven't had good luck with HL in Japan. Their site is sorta hard to figure out. I will check into them again.
It seems the shipping clobbers any good price one might find. The price of our hobby.
