if pigs could fly just imagine how tasty their wings would be...

So the nice man at RHDJapan tells me the kit has been out of production for six yeras!!! I'm struggling to believe him though as there is a blimming great diagram of it in the 2014 catalogue and a line that says "please inquire for individual part prices"

So hoping a direct contact with ORC will prove more fruitful...maybe.
