Hello! Do you have a source for fittings ?

Hello. Recently purchased this kit to build to match my real 1950 seamaid that I spent the last 3 years restoring. When I received the kit there was no deck hardware or any other decorative fittings. Anyone have a source?

Many thanks in advance!

I believe that you can buy fittings sets from Dumas that match the kits they produce of the run about or cruiser type vessels. They would be very close in scale to what you need.

Search ebay, save the search so they will send notices to your email when something comes up. Specific fittings for that kit came from Sterling which is of course long gone. Here's one I finished a couple years ago. I used better wood, using the kit wood as templates. Fortunatly I had the original Sterling fitting set which back in the day were sold separately.
