I need a pair of r-985 wasp junior motors and i found them in the UK but was hoping to find them cheaper in the US. I haven't found many online model shops carrying 1/48 parts. I was wondering if you guys had any preferred shops.
Found one on ebay but it's just one motor for nearly 20.00. Not sure if i'd really need a replacement for the kit ones if the shrouds are going to be on. i could do detail painting. Any opinions?

I'll give them a look, i checked squadron but didn't see the engine. i'm still used to ordering out of the back of finescale modeler lol.
 
Who was the manufacturer of them in the UK? Reason I ask is some resin plane bits might only be available over there compared to the US since if they were used on more aircraft in the UK, they would have more appeal on that side of the pond. Plus, what scale are you needing them in?
 
Vector seems to be the only ones making this engine in 1/48 scale. the ebay price isn't far off from the others. I found one shop but it was out of stock. I hope they come in pairs as i really don't' want to pay 15.00 an engine lol. The kits should be here next week, who knows maybe Lindberg did a good job on the in kit engines.

Edit: That north american hobbies is actually the guy on ebay i sent a message to. hopefully if the price is for 2 engines he'll have them in stock until the first when i get paid.
