I know that most here are across the Pond from me, so most may not be able to help me.......BUT, I have built a good stash of stuff, and now I need accessories.

I did see the "props" thread in here, and I saw several things on the AeroClub website that are interesting as far as props go.  I am wondering if there is a distributor of AeroClub stuff in the US, that would be easier for me to order from.

Also, I am looking for bits like FLIR turrets in 48th/35th/32nd scale, that I can order as well.  I like helos, and I want to whif up, well lets just say a few, and I need either a VERY easy way to make them myself, or somewhere I can just order 5-10 of them, depending on my needs. 

Oh, Chaff/Flare buckets too.  I am always looking for something different I guess.

I have looked on Squadron, but the navigation/search is kind of a pain.  I would appreciate any ideas, links, whatever, so that I can whif some stuff up and put some pics up for you guys to see.  I have some neat ideas for Helos that I think you guys (and girls?) would like.  Help me get the whif-factory going!

Thanks in advance for any help.  If I have any leads, or new ideas/needs, then I will post again.

Try this guy

He does quite a bit of resin stuff and might make you a deal for a bunch of the same item.

Rare-Plane detective has quite a stash of Aeroclub products,

He's based in Las Vegas and his prices are very reasonable.

Thanks for the replies guys.  I knew of Belcher, but I dont know if that FLIR turret is what I am looking for.  I do love the 412 conversion though, and have been thinking about getting it for months.
I checked out rareplane too.  Never knew they had all that.  Unfortunately, I am looking for more Late-war propellers in 48th like the Rotol or even props suitable for a turbine, you know...so I can make something into a turbine sometime.

I will look into these again though, since I didnt have much time this afternoon to do that.  Any more ideas, I am all ears.
Thanks again!

I've ordered from Aeroclub from here in the states, with no problems.  Other helo companies to check out are Cobra Company and Fireball Modelworks http://www.fireballmodels.info/
