Here's a plug for a reputable little mail-order business.
This guy, Patrice Sparks, sells modification kits for commonly available planes - things that add a touch of scale detail like pilots, drop-tanks, bombs, radial engine facades, cockpit conversions ... all sorts of good stuff it you're wanting to add a touch to your plane. These are the sorts of things you can't get from HK.

The reason I'm giving him a plug: I bought a UM Trojan cockpit conversion from him and paid using PayPal. I thought the price of the item was fine, but that the postage was a bit excessive but I went along with it anyway and didn't say anything to the seller about it. A day later I get an unsolicited email message from him saying that he'd taken it upon himself to find a cheaper postage option and that he'd already refunded almost USD $20 to my PayPal account! Well, my faith in human nature was restored and I'll gladly buy him a beer if I ever meet him person - one of the good guys!
