Is it a static model or RC?

Exactly what parts of what model are you looking for? I have access to lots of stuff through local hobby shops & enthusiasts. Sometimes it's possible to go straight to the manufacturers through a hobby shop. I've even bought kits off Ebay just for parts.

Glad you posted the pics -- it's a Douglas Skyraider (AD, a.k.a. A-1). The Skyraider was in development during WWII, but didn't make it into service before the war ended; it did see extensive use in Korea and Vietnam, however. You might find these links useful:

(scroll down through "aircraft type" list to "Attack" section, and click on "AD-1 Skyraider")

Hope this helps!

WOW

There's about a half dozen of 'em on Ebay right now. All you gotta do is figure out what scale you have and buy a 'parts' plane.
