Hello from a 1958 Linemar owner!!

So happy to have found this site!!

Could anyone help me to source, or fab, a tail fin for my plane? I will have to post a link of it bc I can't add a photo. It is an Electra.

There are still a few companies that restore toys, including creating replacement parts. Some examples that come to mind are Randy's Toy Shop (randystoyshop.com) and Classic Tin Toy Company (ClassicTinToy.com) if you want to learn more. Good luck!

Thanks- unfortunately I have reached out to your examples, and many others, and none have been able to help yet. Pic of my actual plane is here:

I guess the fin went into the same black hole that ate some of my Star Wars figure weapons

That's interesting. I know the fabrication services at those companies were never cheap, but I am certain they had the capability at least at one point. Perhaps the craftsman who did that type of work for them are no longer available? Good luck with your search!

One more thing: this website sadly no longer gets much traffic. It's been stagnant for years since it's creator passed away. What's left of the MAC Forum has moved in large part to Facebook. Ugh. I still groan a bit when I think about it. Anyway, you can try your request on the new MAC Forum here:

Thanks for the updates, Mark!

I'm not a FB'er whatsoever, so, I'll take my chances here.
