Anyone know if it's possible to order spare kit parts from Billing Boats (other than the fittings which they sell separately)?

One of my future projects is restoring (as a working model; more on this later hopefully!) an old second-hand Cutty Sark model built from the Billings 1/75 scale wood kit. Although the model is mostly intact, it's missing some of the smaller parts - including the figurehead, stern decoration, ship's boats, one of the pumps, the binnacle, and the sails. Some of these I'll be able to scratchbuild or adapt from spares-box/commercial fittings, but some - notably the figurehead and stern decoration - are beyond my skills! Would it be worth contacting Billing to order replacements?

OK, I've e-mailed them with an enquiry. They don't advertise a spares service (I think) but hopefully it should be possible to order parts from kits that are currently in production!
