Replacement parts for Corgi Helicopters

I havent been too lucky with my two 1:72 Corgi helicopters. My first purchase was on Ebay and it was the coveted RAF SAR Sea King (Lossiemouth). Upon attaching a blade to the rotor head, I broke of some of the plastic and it is now stuck in the rotor head. Secondly, I purchased the Corgi British Airways Chinook and the front rotor head was missing entirely and thus I am unable to attach the blades at all. So to cut this all short, does anyone out there know how to go about obtaining two replacement rotor heads for the blades to insert to?

Thanks everyone

Re: Replacement parts for Corgi Helicopters

Sorry Jamtide, been there, tried that.
My rotor head suffered snapped pins, see, below and this is the reply I got from Helena. Basically Corgi do not hold 'obscure' parts and I've also tried Steve with no luck there either.

"Sorry once again that Corgi are unable to assist with the part that you require. May I suggest that you try contacting Steve Flowers on 01162332288 or sales@model-supplies.co.uk who may be able to help."

Kind Regards
